My husband had the "file format of old pictures" problem at one point. He tells me that there is free software that can open most of those old formats. He found software that would open pix stored in some weird format used on the Atari ST. He says that, if the pix were taken in the past 20 years or so, there is a good chance that they are in something we still use, for example .jpg or .gif.
Images are pretty easy to recover. RP is talking about a database of information about items in a museum.
