Moldy 35mm Slides

We need you to weed out any extra moldy 35mm slides before shipping. Mold forms when slides are stored in damp places or after floods. 99.9% of your slides will be fine—but we can’t scan slides that are actively moldy.

Example #1 of an extra moldy slide

Example #1: 35mm slide with heavy visible mold growth across the film surface

What to do next

Remove any slides with active mold growth from your shipment.
Store slides in a dry location until shipping to prevent new mold.
See our Cleaning Slides guide for tips.
