Abstract
A storage system for storing photographic film negatives that makes it easier for a consumer to identify the images on each negative. The storage system is made from sleeving material having several individual sleeves for storing strips of photographic film negatives. An index print is affixed to the sleeving material so that the positive images on the index print are located directly above the sleeve holding the negative on which the positive images are based.

A method for creating a storage system for identifying photographic film negatives, the method comprising:
- creating an index print from a photographic film, the index print comprising positive images corresponding to those images on the film arranged in a plurality of rows, each row being spaced from an adjacent row, and each positive image in each row being spaced from an adjacent positive image;
- printing the index print;
- inserting a photographic film negative into sleeving material comprising a plurality of sleeves;
- cutting the photographic film negative into strips that correspond to the size of the sleeves;
- and
- affixing the index print to the sleeving material so that each row of positive image on the index print appears directly in front of the sleeve holding the photographic film negative strip on which the row of positive images is based.
A method for creating a storage system for identifying photographic film negatives, the method comprising:
- creating an index print from a photographic film, the index print comprising a plurality of rows of positive images, each row being spaced form an adjacent row and each positive image in each row being spaced form an adjacent positive image, and wherein each row of positive images is based on a strip of photographic film negative;
- printing the index print;
- inserting a photographic film negative into sleeving material, the sleeving material comprising a front layer and a back layer joined together with a plurality of seams to define a plurality of parallel sleeves for receiving strips of photographic film negatives and a plurality of perforated seams at which one sleeve can be detached from an adjoining sleeve;
- cutting the photographic film negative into strips that correspond to the size of the sleeves;
- detaching a length of sleeving material at a perforated seam so that the number of sleeves having an inserted photographic film negative is equal to the number of rows of positive images on the index print;
- and
- affixing the index print to the sleeving material so that each row of positive images on the index print appears directly above the sleeve holding the strip of photographic film negative on which the row of positive images is based.
