I got some humidity in some of my plastic negative holders (with negative inside)


how can I clean this? How can I avoid this? I dont know how this happen. Any recomendation in storing film?
 
Hmm, that sounds interesting. Thought of using silica? Perhaps you're storing your negatives in a room that has, obviously, a lot of humidity. Where did you say you live? I know that in Mexico (if I recall correctly, you said you where from la Republica Dominicana, but in Mexico studying right now) houses with basements as are known in the U.S. are uncommon, and some really old houses (19th Century) have some materials that absorb and release moisture.

I don't know how smart the use of little pouches of silica would be, to leave them in the cases where you file the archival negative sleeves. Try getting those that have a color indicator, so that you know when they're saturated and you can then heat them in order to "release" the moisture they've "trapped".

Suerte.
