Strangely, the behaviour of Kodachrome vs Ektachrome in storage vs
projection differs markedly. Kodachrome is spectacularly good in dark
storage, as you say. But it is not at all so good after accumulated
projection time. Ektachrome is the opposite - much better than Kodachrome
if you are projecting, worse than Kodachrome in dark storage. Thankfully my
early experiences with some very strange brands convinced me to use
Kodachrome all those years ago, which have not been projected much.
Appreciation to whoever it was on the list provided the pointer to the paper
on archival storage of images a couple of months back.

Thank you Moose!
1970 is infact the year I was born and I do have some carousels with slides
from that year. Some has fade though :( But the fact that you state that
your Ektachromes still hold is good to know, as Kodachrome probably is no
option soon.
Dark and stable temperature seems too be a good enviroment for slides.
