The best way to keep the slides from fading is to store it under controlled humidlity and temperature, total darkness and never take it out for viewing. But isn't this as good as not having the slide at all?
No matter how well u keep your slides, they will fade. Period.
If the slide is precious, I would make a digital scan and save it on several copies of CDs. Currently, this the best way to stop colour from fading.
