I can second Film Rescue's services. I have met Greg Miller, the owner, and
toured his facility. He has told me a little about his processes and
procedures- but ony in general terms! If there is any chance of an important
image on the film, you may want to consider consigning it to a professional.
Perhaps this could make it more interesting for the student: doing some digging
into the history of the camera to see what could possibly be on the roll.

Janet You may not know what is on this film, it could be nothing, but it
also could be a family heirloom. Now it is a bit expensive, but to teach that
the service and techniques are available you might want to think about Film
Rescue. www.filmrescue.com On a student's budget it might be tight, but its
only a single roll. IF anyone can get anything off that roll of film, I would
bet from their reputation its them. Frankly you might be surprised.
I once had a roll of film when I first started more seriously in photography
fall out of a pocket somewhere. It rode around in boxes, stored in
unairconditioned storage rooms in the south and un heated storage rooms in the
north. The roll of film showed up again 10 years later, which I processed then
to find it was a roll I had taken on the first date with the now wife.

I have a student in my darkroom class who will be bringing in to develop a
roll of Plenachrome 120 film that was in an old box camera he just purchased.
Since this film is 50 years old or more, I expect it is fogged. Would it help
to add some Benzotriazole solution? I have some on hand and the container says
that it is used for paper, but could it help the film? We have no idea how
long to develop the film in Xtol, but I expect we can't overdevelop it. We
don't expect this film will yield much, but what the heck, we have to try.
