[Nhcoll-l] 35mm slides

[Lennart Lennuk]

Hi Tonya

We had some 35mm slides with plastic frames and we removed the frames because the plastic used these times can be harmful for the film.
Also the frame deforms the film inside. We keep them inside PP or PE plastic sheets. This way it takes a lot fewer space and the photos are easier to inspect.
The black&white are ok to keep on room temperature but colored ones are better to keep in colder conditions (10-12 Celsius and RH40-45%.)

Best!

Hello all,

I  wonder if any of you would be willing to share the way that you store any 35mm slides you have in your collections? We have a few boxes that we have refrigerated, but I’m not sure if that’s best practice of if I would be better to have them someplace that’s just cool and dry.

Thanks!

Tonya
