Changing A Negative Into A Positive

I recently bought a Scanner that is able to handle the larger photo negatives I had in an old shoe box in the basement. The negatives have been sitting there for years, some dating back to the 1930's.
I inherited some from my father, others are mine and are mostly 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 negatives from my Twin Lens Yashica Mat camera. There are literally thousands of them.

I have been scanning those negatives for the past couple of weeks and it is interesting to see the images go from negative to positive, many of the photos I have never seen before. Others bring back memories of a time when I was much younger. Here are a few samples.
