I cannot figure out why people keep asking this question. It is a negative. You would not display a regular (celluloid) negative. Why would you 'display' this? It can be scanned and a high quality print can be made from it. It can then be wrapped in archival paper and stored for safe keeping. That is what I do with my several dozen including one that is about 7 x 10. I also do this with magic lantern slides. If I get the space I may store them flat in a drawer. I also put bubble wrap around them as I want to protect them.

I cant figure out why there are people who think giving a smart ass useless response is a good idea?I keep asking this question in hopes that there IS a way to display it. IF there was a safe way to display this I would display it why not?! I understand they are negatives, they are not the first glass plates I have bought. None of that is hard to understand.

Common sense. Susceptible to moisture and mold not to mention fragile. Perhaps useless in your mind, but not everyone.
