Relocating the affected materials

It was clear from our visits to the performing arts organisations that the majority of the film content affected was being stored in less than optimal conditions. An important way to slow down decay caused by vinegar syndrome is better storage conditions, i.e. at a low (constant) temperature with low relative air humidity. Any film, magnetic tapes or photographic negatives/slides with an acetate base that have already been affected also need to be isolated to prevent the vinegar syndrome spreading.
