freezing film

I recently bought enough b&w film of 1 format to last several years.

(It was a custom order.) I'd like to freeze what I won't use for a

while. It did not come sealed in air tight packages, but just wrapped

in black paper like photo paper comes. Since I live in humid new

england, would 2-3 days in a/c before double freezer bagging it (one

taped at the the zip lock) be good enough to insure against frost or

freezer burn?

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Andy

Double bag the film with a desiccant and let it sit for a day before freezing.

I think you have the right idea about the A/C, because most of them remove humidity from the air, but I would make sure that you do it after a few days with fairly low humidity (as opposed to right after several days of rain). Outdoor humidity is usually the lowest in the late afternoon as opposed to first thing in the morning.
