WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT GLASS PLATE NEGATIVES

Our technicians are skilled in handling delicate valuable media and using preservation tools such as gloves and careful cleaning products we can prepare your glass plate negatives, before returning them back into their relevant envelopes or protective casings.
