DEAR JANET,
    Please try to find a book called ( I think) "CARE AND CONSERVATION OF
PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTIONS" by Mary Ritzenthaller. I usually have it in my
library but cannot find it now that I want to give you the info! If anyone
else on the list knows the info more exactly, please don't be shy. I have
been curating a collection of more than 2,000 glass negatives and Jose
Orracca, a photo archivist, recommended it to me. It gives very good
instructions on the cleaning and preservation or glass negs and has an
extensive bibliography. It is available from some institution in
Chicago...sorry, can't recall. I spent two hours scouring the house for
this book for you last night to no avail. I am worried as I use it as a
reference.

    I will let you know more if I can find that darned book!
                                                    CHEERS!
