Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / November 2007preservation of old negatives
Dear All, We I am working in a archive in Nepal. Our archive is doing digitization of the old photos and negatives of 19th and early 20th century. We are facing the problems with the negatives as some of the negatives are wrapped in the ordinary paper which has caused sticking of emulsion of the negatives with the paper. If we try to remove it mechanically in dry or after moistening, the emulsion get sticked in the paper and the negatives gets spoiled. I kindly request you all to share if you have any idea how to remove the paper from the negative.

The problem you describe is a common one and not easy to fix. Also look at the Conservation On Line site at: http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/ The American Institute for the Preservation of Historic and Artistic Works at: http://aic.stanford.edu/ The archives of the journal published by the AIC is at: http://aic.stanford.edu/jaic/ But I strongly advise talking directly to an experienced conservator.
