Archival Storage Box for Glass Negatives and Ambrotypes, 9 × 12 cm – 8 Compartments

This archival storage box is designed for the safe storage and transport of glass negatives and ambrotypes measuring 9 × 12 cm. It is suitable for photographic studios and darkrooms, museums, archives, and private collections.

The interior features 8 separate compartments, allowing glass plates to be stored vertically. Rigid dividers separate groups of plates and help prevent them from shifting inside the box. Semicircular cutouts in the dividers provide easier access to the contents.

The box is made from archival-quality materials that meet the requirements of ISO 16245 and have passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT). These materials are suitable for the long-term preservation of photographic collections.

Its rigid construction and removable lid make the box convenient to use while providing additional protection against dust and accidental damage.
