Re: Old Nitrate Microfilm



Please, before you get into doing this on your own, contact either NEDCC
(Northeast Document Conservation Center) or CCAHA (Center for the
Conservation of Art and Human Artifacts.  It is my  understanding that this
is a professional conservation undertaking.

Subject:        Old Nitrate Microfilm

Has anyone had any success in flattening old, badly curled up nitrate film,
perhaps in a solution of some type which will not ruin the emulsion at the
same time?  The goal is to flatten the film, make it more pliable, and then
duplicate it for preservation, though it may be too late for that.
