Negatives to be rehoused

A SET of glass plate negatives more than half a century old are being rehoused to maintain the archive of historical health materials in the Lothians.

The items come from the teaching of obstetrics unit at Edinburgh University from the 1950s and 60s.

The Lothian Health Services Archive has taken responsibility of the negatives in order to keep them in an improved environment and make a more definite record of them.

A spokeswoman said: "This re-housing will protect the plates from damage."
