[pure-silver] Re: Selenium toning + Agfa Sistan

This topic is repeated several times in old pure-silver, and I sent a
summary of problems reported with KRST to another pure-silver, so I
won't repeat the details here. But those who are interested are
referred to literature:

Drago and Lee. 1986. Review of the effects of processing on the image
stability of black-and-white silver materials, J Imaging Tech, 12,
57-65.

Lee, Wood, Drago. 1984. Toner treatments for photographic images to
enhance image stability. J. Imaging Tech., 10, 119-126.

Reilly, Nishimura, Cupriks, Adelstein. 1991. Polysulfide treatment for
microfilm. J. Imaging Tech. 17, 99-107.

Kopperl and Huttemann 1986. Effect of residual thiosulfate ion on the
image stability of microfilms. J. Imaging Tech. 12, 173-180.

Johnsen and Pedersen. 1993. Comparison of selenium and sulfur
treatment for protecting photographic silver images against
oxidation. Preprint, ICOM Committee for Conservation, Paris.

There is another paper by Drago and Lee on 1984 about the stability of
duplicating film 4168, which is also very interesting. Also,
definitely try to get a hold of the real preprint of Johnsen and
Pedersen, not the abstract. It's full of insightful data. Also, get
Reilly et al even if you read the full report by IPI. It is written
with a different angle and also written for different audience.
