just scan it with a flatbed if you really want, and then just throw it away. no one wants old photographs I'm sure it's worthless

I knew exactly what was going to happen when I clicked the exif and it made me laugh anyway

I'll keep this in mind.

>Valuable
OP if this is valuable, get if off your hands as fast as possible once you scan it.
Either commission a drum scan or rent a 50 megapixel camera with a macro lens and RAW scan it yourself.
Celluloid films will off gas and decompose very easily, extremely easily.
Even if you store this and follow every preservation measure, it's still possible that it will deteriorate.
You're making this sound like a piece of art, if it is then sell it to someone else once you get the chance.
If it's just some family heirloom, then just pray for the best.

Perhaps I expressed myself poorly. It is not a "work of art" as such, but relatively valuable to any collector who specialises in the field to which this photograph belongs, and it is invaluable to me. I intend to buy it from an antiquarian for my own pleasure solely, and since it is commercially available I believe no museum will take a greater interest in it.

I have not come across this particular photograph on the internet, so it's possible it has never been scanned. If that is the case, I intend to do so at some point. However, at this time my primary concern is to create an optimal environment in which to store it. From what I have gathered, it is common to store black and white photographs at around 60 degrees farenheit/15 degrees celsius and with a relative humidity of around 40%.

>>2958104
I remember this shit from last time but I still laughed. I genuinely love you.

>>2958150
Stop being so fucking secretive about it? Is it an ansel adams photo or something?

Listen to what this guy is saying though
>>2958136
>>2958136

You must scan it asap, higest resolution, highest bit rate possible. Then figure out a way to store it to preserve it as good as you can

>>2958150
just tell us what it is

+1 for just scanning it.

Can't trust nature to not recycle, infest, change anything over time.

Digital data with parity, checksums, redundancy and replication to retain the redundancy can theoretically be maintained forever. [Effectively as long as someone cares to preserve it.]

Sounds about right. Should make it reasonably hard for most biology to infest it and all that.

>I may soon come into come into ownership of a valuable, old, celluloid photograph
> I wish to preserve it well as I possibly could

why the fuck are you asking 4chan? archiving is a major aria of study, if the photo is worth preserving put it in the hands of toughs that can do so .
