Subject: Kodak film codes
Re: notch codes on film. I recall from probably the mid 70's getting information on notch codes for 4x5 negatives which indicated what type of film they were. This info was being used to try to figure out which were nitrate. It turned out that some films which were not nitrate based had nitrate as an adhesive layer. This was, however, a long time ago in terms of conservators' knowledge of such matters. The information I got would be in the files of the Brooklyn Museum lab, but I assume there is more complete and up-to-date information available now. B.
