If it were me....I'd dupe all of them as 35mm slides and when requested by
publishers or others, I'd make a 4x5" duplicate (2 actually - 1 original and
1 in-camera original to loan to the requestor) and pass the cost of that
duplication onto the requestor.  It will build a "library" of 4x5" duplicates.
 Or you could go with 2 1/4" color transparency film instead of 35mm...better
quality, but easier to work with.
