<p class="MsoNormal">Hey Emma, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have just started a large negative project at Point Ellice House so I can hopefully offer some advice!
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have ordered some polyester sleeves and some envelopes from Carr Mclean. The accession number can go be written in pencil on the outside of the envelope. The sleeves are clear so once the negatives are inside they don’t ever really need
to be removed unless for digitization. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If they are pre 1920’s I would double check that they aren’t cellulose nitrate negatives as they can off gas and combust. Negatives like cool environments, but if they are of the cellulose nitrate variety they NEED to be in a cool environment
or you will have some trouble. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Canadian Conservation Institute has a big write up on negatives that you might find helpful:</p>
