Hi Ashley,
 
The reason for the moisture might be due to storing conditions (humidity, temperature).
 
What kind of photo negatives do you refer to? If you deal with acetate film you have to be very carefull as moisture might lead to the "vinegar syndrome". For details please see  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_acetate_film#Decay:_.22vinegar_syndrome.22>.

	Betreff: [MUSEUM-L] Oily Photo Sleeve
	
	
	I have noticed a strange effect on some of the photograph sleeves currently housing photos in our archives. The sleeves are clear, maybe polyester. And some of them have what looks to be moisture inside the sleeve. The "moisture" has a swirly rainbow look, like you might see if you spilt oil on pavement on a sunny day. At first I thought it was moisture trapped in the sleeve, but now I'm wondering if the effect is just part of the material. Do any of you know what this could be? 
	 
	Thanks!
	Ashley
