Well, two comments, 1) film on polyester base probably is the best archival storage 2) Even film on cellulose acetate will keep itself together if properly stored. The biggest danger is caused by overheated conditions. Film should never be stored in 90 plus degrees F, as often occurs in apartments in cities in temperate zones during the summer. Keep it cool, keep the humidity below 50% and constant, and your film will think it was at the spa, in fact, it might come out looking and feeling younger than when it went in ;-) Art Robert Kehl wrote: > Yeah Tony, > > > > that was news to me, too. > > > > I was under the misassumption that film was the best archival medium > around.
