storage and printing
Okay, this is all paper, which in the end has a limited shelf life.
I am keeping my photos in a FireKing safe. However you store your cool stuff, you want to reduce moisture. DryTote is a rechargeable desiccant for storage boxes. It looks like a change purse and can be recharged by placing in a microwave for 3 minutes. Really.
You can also use blackboard chalk. A couple of sticks in an envelope work fine.
This also comes in handy for drawing crime scene outlines or playing hopscotch.
Glass plates....I'm not telling any of the people who have posted anything they don't know, but if you are new to glass plates (say you are buying Brown Bros negatives from Uncle Josh) and you don't have a darkroom, you can scan the negative, clean it up in the process and put the negative on a flash drive.
You guys now know as much as I.
