Most of the plastic negatives will not be treated as they are beyond treatment. Please ensure you are wearing gloves when handling these items and that your area is well ventilated.
Cracked or lifting emulsions should be given to a conservator to treat. Please do not take the plate out of the paper wrapping when damaged. Please place the damaged negative in a mylar pocket and then in the green polypropylene box provided in Lisas cupboard with a blue treatment form.
Cleaning
Fingerprints and smudges on glass negatives should be cleaned with Ethanol using a cotton swab. Clean the non-emulsion side only!
