Display Glass Negatives?

[Jill Connors-Joyner]

Our Special Collections folks would like to display one or two glass negatives at one of CU-Boulder’s branch libraries. The branches are open from 8 am until 10 pm or so. We can take measures to minimize the danger of the negatives breaking, but are concerned about the long exposure to indirect light. The display could be up for as long as 3 months. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions about the advisability of that amount of exposure to light. We can ask them to cover the display case during the period when there are few patrons, but this would not be in our direct control.
Does anyone have experience with this problem?
Thanks
