Would you say that it would keep better than digital media in ice for that long?
Absolutely. Way longer.Would you say that it would keep better than digital media in ice for that long?
We will never know, maybe our grandchildren. For one thing my 12 years old CF, unused for 10 years, just laying on the bottom of the drawer and knocked around in it, still holds the images fine. Frozen ? In dry conditions ? Maybe the only question is, if in hundred years there will be still around any devices to read it. The beauty of the film is the technological simplicity, could be developed in coffee, and that will be available for centuries to come.Absolutely.

I remember when Mount St.Helens erupted. It doesn't surprise me that they got usable images from either that roll or the one found on ice. Film keeps a lot better than people think.
