Senior pediatric radiologists who have spent a major portion of their careers interpreting conventional film-screen radiographic studies have collected a wealth of hard-copy teaching material that is at risk of becoming obsolete. The teaching value and usefulness of analog film teaching files can be preserved using available hardware and standard software. The final product can be made available in a high-quality digital format to students, trainees and faculty without complicated search-and-retrieval methodology. This paper describes a relatively simple and low-cost procedure to preserve and use this source of wisdom and experience. It also emphasizes the role that such a resource can play as part of a comprehensive educational program.
