A question was asked as to whether the comments about painting archives
extends to video and 35 mm film.  The particular ISO standard (ISO 18911)
speaks specifically to storage and environmental conditions for
photographic film.  There are others for paper and other media.

The standard is addressing photographic materials of silver-gelatin
emulsions coated on film however, it is logical to extend that to similar
materials of this type.  For instance black and white papers, motion
picture and 35 mm black and white films all have in common silver-gelatin
emulsions but just on different substrates.  The image bearing silver
layer must be protected from oxidants regardless of which substrate it is
coated.  Avoiding contact with oxidative materials that might be present
in paints and lacquers is advisable.

Specifically to color motion picture, 35 mm film or photographic prints
these also can be sensitive to environmental conditions so it makes sense
for archival collections to heed the warnings as specified.

Hope this answers Gerri Bradford's question.
