Question for the archivists : mounting b/w negs

Question for the archivists : mounting b/w negs

2002-08-06 by jamiedrouin

I'd like to mount the b/w negatives used for editioned images in
individual slide mounts and would like some advice on how best to do
this. Is there a general 'archival concensus' on whether or not to use
glass slide mounts on b/w neg film? Plastic or metal mounts?

There is a ton of information online about the proper storage of color
films in mounts, but nothing (I can find) on b/w neg materials.


Thanks in advance,
Jamie.


P.S. Thank you to those who pointed me towards the 13x19" archival boxes.
