I've started to process my first 1/2 plate negs and I've just obtained some 5x7 film holders. I cannot find any information on files/pages for storing 5x7/half plate negatives. I'm in The U.K. but I don't mind shipping stuff in from other countries.
Thanks,
Pete.
Conservation Resources International makes a 4-fold paper envelope that I use.

They also make sorage boxes of various sizes. Best quality I have found to date.
I like the envelopes because there is no sliding of the negative in or out. And I can write all the data (I use a pencil) on the outside of the envelope.

Silverprint sell sleeves and pages for 5x7 - these fit half plate too without any trouble. I got the plain sleeves as I dont use binders at the moment.

I use glassine envelopes from B&H.
I use Pro-Line clear envelopes from Pro-Vu plastics. I have hundreds and no idea where I purchased them.
Last time i bougt some of these but also forgot where.

Many thanks for all your help.

I store my 5X7 negatives in Print File Archival Preeservers. The product number if 100-57-2B, which stores two negatives per page that will fit a 3-ring binder. The plastic contains no PVC and is safe for long-term storage.
Web site is www.PrintFile.com, but you can purchase directly from a number of sources, including B&H in New York.
The storage sheets are very clear and permit making contact print with the negative in the sheet.

It took me a while to figure this myself: 5x7 prints are relatively common and Klame at least make an archival, or so they say, "PRINT FILE" for 5x7.
The pack says "4 exposures" but they have 2 pockets per sheet, so that would be 4 prints back to back, but only 2 negs.
They seem OK to me, they are freely available in Australia, but I suggest this only for your consideration.
