If the ideal condition is below 50 degrees at 40% relative humididy, would it be a good idea to devote a refrigerator to storing my original negative for my films?
I think so. The greater volume of air would be easier to stabilize and maintain a good relative humidity level. A fairly inexpensive weather station (indoor/outdoor type) could be mounted on the door to keep a check on the interior without opening the door. I would NOT suggest you use a “frost-free” type of refrigerator, as they remove humidity to keep-out frost and could freeze-dry your film. If the fridge tends to keep a dry atmosphere; put a few damp rags in a film can, punch a few holes in the top and place it in the bottom of the refrigerator. If too damp, use sillica gel cansiters to lower the RH. You will have to experiment to find a method of regulation, but it should not be too hard.
