1. Vinegar syndrome is named after the smell of acetic acid (in vinegar), which is created when the acetate base layer in films deteriorates. If you can smell vinegar in an archive, it’s very likely that one or more films, magnetic tapes or photographic negatives/slides have already started to decay. This smell was detected when Het Firmament discovered the film stock.
