Y'all have been so much help lately I thought I would ask another question.
Over the holidays I unearthed all of my negatives and prints from my previous life as a wannabe photographer.
Included in the find were 6 long lost aerial photos that my dad took from his B-29 over Japan and Korea in 1950-1951. These are 10x20 contact prints from 9x18 aerial film. They have probably been rolled since new. They have faded, I am guessing, from hasty fixing and washing. I would like to frame one or two. Unfortunately, the most faded is an oblique photo taken in 1950 of the Imperial Grounds in Tokyo. The others are from a single mission in March, 1951 over North Korea. They were taken a few minutes apart from 20,000 feet. Lat. & Long. and the geographical location are handwritten on each negative.
What can I do to flatten them? What can I do to prevent further deterioration?
Thanks for all of your help.
