I thought this might be a cooling topic during this heat wave. As luck would have it, the air conditioning at our library broke down this week. Temperatures in the library were in the 90s. I am new to this position and am working at assessing the collections. I discovered that I have nitrate negatives, interfiled with safety film negatives. I need to purchase a refrigerator or freezer as soon as possible. I'm looking for any advice on this purchase. I believe there are about 2,000, mostly 4"x5" negatives. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Alice P. Staples Associate Professor Archives/Special Collections Librarian Michael J.
