Warning.  Transparencies have a lifespan of approximately 10 years before
they "blue."  If you are going to the expense of shooting everything,
think about making a simultaneous set of slides (also not permanent) or
black and white negatives.  Use quality processing or else you'll get the
"blues" and "reds" of the 60s neighborhood pharmacist masquerading as a
photo processor.
