Thank you so very much for your thoughts, help and suggestions.

I have a Kodak ESP 7250 all in one, but I haven't found an option for making negatives into positives.

The glass plate I have in my possession at this time are 4"x5" but it sounds like some of the ones I haven't seen yet may be as large as 8"x10".

Of the 16 plates I have, some are pretty good and some are pretty bad and may not be savable.

The plates I have are in a couple "Roebuck Orthochromatic" boxes and have what appears to be the original black paper between most of the plates, but they must have run out of the paper and used newspaper to separate some of the plates and it looks like this may have caused some damage.

While she handed these plates to me to see what I could do with them, I'm not really sure what her plans are for the rest of them. She may let me take them home or she may want me to do the work at her home which is about 90 minutes from where I live.

These plates are old and some of the pictures are of my great grand fathers barn being built before 1910. My great grandfather was blinded during surgery some time in the 30's, so his pictures would predate his blindness.

Thanks again.
