Will you be housing them in cold storage? Do you have enough space to store them flat?
We recently dealt with a collection of rolled panoramic nitrate negs. and found the only feasible way was to keep them rolled. We layered tissue onto the negs. and then constructed compartments within a box to store them on edge...We just did not have enough space to store them unrolled in our cold storage...

What is the best way to handle rolled oversized photograph negatives.  Should they be flattened or left rolled?
