We have 250 glass plate negatives. They are stored in a temp/humidity controlled environment and each negative is wrapped in acid free paper in an archival box. They are stored upright and side by side in the box. We have not had any problem with peeling under these conditions.

We have seven emulsion glass plate negatives that are peeling away from
the glass.
Does anyone know if it is possible to restore these negatives or at
least slow down the process of deterioration? Thanks in advance.
