Please make sure that the film will be developed without ruining the pictures in it. I have film that curves on both ends flat on the midle. i have film that has paper covering i mean really old fims. I was told that pictures fade after so many months or years but i am sure theres a place outhere that specializes in it.

These guys have been processing old film for decades. It's what they do. Not to dis Ritz, but they are going to send it to Kodak, or Fuji processing, and they will send it back with a note saying they can't do it. Save the time and send it direct.

The deal is this, if the film has been in a temperature controlled environment, or in a dark cool place then you might not experience much in the ways of a degraded image, especially if this is black and white film as color film is more prone to becoming degraded if stored improperly. In addition the film which you have described sounds like 120 or 220 sized film common to professional use. My suggestion for you is to call around to professional film development stores in your area. Usually film processing even for this type of film has a relatively short turn around, I live in San Francisco for example and I can have my film developed in around 3-4 hours.

Find a Ritz or Wolf Camera store in your area and take the film to them. If they cannot develop it at their location, they have a lab they send older film for developing. Your film will be handled with the greatest care and returned unharmed. You will surprised and delighted at how wonderful those older pictures can turn out!

The BEST place is http://www.rockymountainfilm.com. They are specialists in this kind of work.
There's no guarantee that you'll get images. A lot depends on the type of film -- black and white, transparency or color print -- and how and where it was stored. Your chances are better if the film is black and white or transparency, worse if it's color print film. If it was stored in someplace like a hot attic, you're done regardless of the type.

Ask for advice at your local camera store. They will know of anyone who develops film professionally, and whether or not your films can be developed.

if it's C41 print film then any local lab
If it's E6 slide film then any local lab should have a source
if anything else (E4, K14, C22, etc) then rocky mountain as the others have suggested
