 Negative
CollectionsGlass Negatives | Film Negatives The Colorado Historical Society has many collections that consist primarily of glass plate or film negatives. Both glass and film negatives are fragile, harmed by light, and easily damaged by handling. The negative is irreplaceable, since it is the source of the image and, once damaged, will never produce another high quality print. Glass and film negatives may be seen by appointment only through the photography department. Curatorial staff will pull requested negatives from the files and arrange them on a light table for viewing. In many cases, study prints have been made from the negatives. Where study prints are available, library visitors may view the study prints. Images from some of the glass negative collections are also available for viewing at http://photoswest.org. Contact the library for more information about the photograph collection. |
