- Abstract
- Several factors affect the archival quality of photographic film. Since the influence of storage conditions on the gelatine and image-forming substances has been covered extensively in the literature, this article concentrates on how long-term storage affects the support and substratum of the film. Research conducted into the causes of the vinegar syndrome, a deterioration of triacetate base, is discussed, along with recommended archival storage conditions. It is concluded that polyethylene terephthalate is a safer choice as a base for film that will be archived.
