Newbie and Nitrate film

[Goglplx]

Hi all,

Am new to this forum and am looking for some guidance with some nitrate roll-film I inherited from my grandparents. I have around 30 rolls; they are tightly wound and in metal or paper cans.

Is this something I can reasonably tackle; realizing I will need to spend $$$'s on a good scanner and the time to dust-bust them in PS.

Or, are there services you would recommend to do this type of work for me; at least the scanning part. I can do the dust-busting.

I appreciate any recommendations!

Sincerely,

I would start by reading this:
