Teach me! Teach me, please.
I know slides can be copied with special adapters on scanners and with adapters that attach directly to your digital camera, but slides are 'positives' instead of negatives. Is there a way you can get negatives into a digital format without a print?

I also wonder if we are talking proofs or a contact sheet. I know that at one time 'proofs' were made with a process that was a type of print purposely very off color (including grey scale) and designed to fade out almost completely within months. They were a sales tool given to the customer (normally 5" x 7") from a shoot, to select high end prints to be made in any size. I know a 'contact sheet' to be a page of frames the same scale as the actual film which made it so small, selection was done with a loop.

I'm not sure what you have Lil, but I'm sure Coaster can tell you (and me) a lot more. Whatever it is, keep it covered from direct light.

I'll be interested in what you find out. Keep us posted.
