The scuttlebut in the trade magazines, I believe, is that Kodachrome is
tops for archiving, provided it is stored in the dark under good conditions
(not too humidity, dry, hot, etc.) However, it supposedly fades worse than
the E6 films under projection.  Important slides which must be projected a
lot should be duped (using the dupes for projection, of course).
