Response to How do I print and restore positive B+W glass plate photos ???

from Alan Gibson (gibson.al@mail.dec.com)
They might have been made by contact-printing from the original glass 10x8 negatives, and made as whopping big lantern slades (I would love to see the lantern...)

For reproduction, your bes bet might be to re-photograph them. The museum may have the facilities to do this. So you then have negatives (35mm, 5x4, or whatever), which can then be printed in the conventional way. They can also be digitised, and restored digitally, or displayed on you web site.
