What is the best way to make copies of hundreds of 35mm slides?

I have several hundred boxes of slides each with more than thirty
slides in it and would like to be able to make prints from them. I figure
that if I can get them into a digital format I can use any photo type
printer.

Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to pay a professional?

So you have about 7000 slides, I sorted till I had 300 and used a
slide scanner, actualy a canon mp 950. Its time consuming or expensive
to do so I would only do the best ones.

Go to eBay. Find a good. cheap 35mm camera, like a Pentax K-1000 or the
like. Find a slide copier for it. Pay maybe $200 or less for the works. Load
some color print film in the camera, and start shooting slides. The cost of
film and processing might go for about $0.50 per slide, and you'll have
negatives should you want enlargements of the slides. After you're done,
you'll still have a nice 35mm camera to use.
