  Subject: Saving old negatives

  I realise that this enquiry is not in the direct thread of alt processes
but I'm hoping that someone out there can help me. I have a fairly large
number of old glass negatives, these are in the region of 100 years old(No,
I didn't take them myself). The problem I'm having is with "silvering" of
the image.
         I have tried using a proprietary tarnish remover on a few with some
success, but am a little nervous of subjecting the rest of them to the same
treatment. What I would appreciate is any advice on restoring these negs
without risking irreversible damage.
