Storage problem

[Tupi Guy]

Hi all,

I have some issues about those negatives that i have all these years. Currently i already have 2 dry cabins for it but it seem like still not enough. As for me, it will only increase as time goes by. I have seem those really huge dry cabinet but it too big and expansive for me.

I was thinking to get a tall bookshelf from ikea with those glass door then place some "hippo" with it. Is it advisable to do it this way? In long run and those negatives will still in "good condition"?

And i am in a headache situation for house keeping it.

Anyone care to share with me how you actually keep your negatives?

Charles
Thanks in advance.

keep them in an air conditioned room

or have them scanned and store then in DVDs

my room has air-con but sometime i will be away for a period and during this period the negative could have "grow" something? Some of my stuff "grew" some funny stuff when i back sg.

My negatives are all scanned when i send for developing but i also hope the negatives are in good shape too.
