Sleeving 6x7 Negs

Four to a sleeve for 6x6 and five to a sleeve for 6x4.5 has been my
practice. Now I've 6x7 negs. Should I use two or five neg sleeves
or? Also, glassine may not be best, at least for viewing.
Looking for suggestions. Dan

Dan,

I use the archival, clear plastic pages designed for storage in loose-leaf
notebooks. There are two types: 3 vertical columns that each holds 4 frames
per 6x6 roll or 4 horizontal rows that each holds 3 frames. I prefer the
latter.

For my 6x9 sheet film negs I use the same sheets, but I place 2 negatives
in each horizontal row.

This works for me,

I think I'll go two to a sleeve. I may even resurrect the accordion fold.
Nowdays that would be with archival paper. Dan

You don't always have to throw away the 10th negative. You can discard the
1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th.
