Getting Old Rolls Of Film Processed

As if I don't have enough photographs to sort out, I somehow have a few old rolls of undeveloped film. 

I hoped I might be able to bring these to light with my photo scanner, but apparently that doesn't work.

I found instructions for developing them yourself without a darkroom, even, but meh.

I've bookmarked this site https://thedarkroom.com/    They say they'll process, digitalize, put on CD, and send you the negatives (which you actually can scan with your scanner).  They will even correct colors (apparently older unprocessed film takes on odd reddish coloring) if you don't have any photo editing program yourself.

Another tool in the quest to get my scrapbooks in divine shape.

I haven't used them yet myself, but I will be sending in a couple of rolls to see what is unearthed.
