  • Patent number: 5374975
    Abstract: A film archival storage holder comprises base and cover sheets in a laminar page configuration including a plurality of pockets formed with bonding lines for holding the film. The pockets have an opening at one end accessed through a slit in the cover sheet for placing the film within the pocket and a smaller opening at the other end for accessing the pocket and maneuvering the film into a desired position. The smaller opening prevents the film from exiting the pocket. A flap is formed between the slit and another bonding line parallel to the slit. Once in the pocket, the film is maneuvered under the flap for locking the film within the pocket. The film can be positioned between the slit and the smaller opening and the film image with unobscured view which is especially useful when making contact prints from negative film placed in the pockets. Negative film in strips of any length can be stored and maneuvered into a predetermined position for storing or exposing.
