What is the size of negative? As for me, it's too large for 24x36 mm. But it seems too small for 60x90?
I am a little surprised to see that almost all of these images seem to be 35mm. I would have expected more medium-format, and maybe some large-format, for this period.

You could probably archive all those images on a couple of flash drives!
