You can treat the glass slides just like 35 mm slides and negatives.
You need a flatbed scanner with a large built-in backlight. The ones I know are the Epson 4870, 4490, or 4990.
Just lay the glass slide on the bed, set the resolution at 4800 ppi, set the media as Transparency (positive or negative as appropriate), and scan them into your computer. You may want to use scanner Unsharp Mask and Dust Removal (or else clean the slides well).
Once into computer, you can clean them up further with photo-editing software, then Resize appropriately and Save.
Then Burn them out to CD/DVD.
Good Luck

If you are going to do it yourself, you need a scanner with a backlight option or a frame holder for a high quality digital camera. Get the images as high quality as possible so that you can reduce it later if you wish. Using a Photo editing program that has options like those in Paint Shop Pro that I use which has photo repairs including changing the sharpness, omitting scratches, and deleting artifacts. Then there are all the hand editing choices. Always work on a copy so the original is there to go back to and use Redo and Undo to compare major changes to you can flick back and forth to see what gain and damage has occurred. Learn

thankfully, my kinfolk took various pictures and stored them. some are in the previous the civil conflict. We scanned lots of them whilst my mom "broke up her abode" and we've various copies. The maximum weird one is an previous tin style latest in somewhat silver album of comparable style pictures that we've not have been given any clue who they're, different than that they are from my Dad's edge of the kinfolk. truthful to Pete, there is one among a pair taken possibly in mid 1800's. The gentleman is seated and the lady is status beside him in a eye-catching gown and an entire beard....we don't understand in the event that they have been circus people or early bypass dressers....

This demands a great amount of technical know-how. It would be best to take your slides to a professional photography expert. Good luck!

Use high a resolution scanner. I did that with color slides I own.
