Subject: Deterioration of color microfiche
We have some color microfiche that is developing a pinkish hue. As I understand it this is an inherent problem with color film, and the only way to stop it is cold storage. The microfiche was produced in 1979. This seems a very short time to have this much degradation. Short of putting a freezer in our microforms area is there any other way of halting or slowing down the process? Has anyone else encountered this problem? And what was your solution? Should I just recommend that the microfiche be replaced?
