    Re: Storing processed Negatives - Inside or Outside the Darkroom?

    Greg - that's another reason I mentioned a true data safe. But these start around
    $3500 and you still have to figure out internal humidity control. Cheaper to just to build your own granite vault and waterproof it with hydraulic cement. No telling what
    on earth those cheapo made-in-China Walmart safes are good for. I'm pretty sure any
    info on a disc would melt inside one in a serious fire, and film certainly would.

    Thanks All !!! Appreciate the responses... Think I'll stick with storing negatives outside of the darkroom...

    Cheers,
    Dan
