Abstract:
A silver halide light-sensitive material comprising a support, a hardening layer and a light-sensitive layer in order, said light-sensitive layer containing silver halide and a hydrophilic polymer, and said hardening layer or said light-sensitive layer containing a reducing agent, wherein the hardening layer contains a mixture of a polymer (A) and a polymer (B), said mixture containing the polymer (A) in an amount of 5 to 70 wt. % and the polymer (B) in an amount of 30 to 95 wt. %, said polymer (A) comprising repeating units of (A1) in an amount of not less than 95 mol %, and said polymer (B) comprising repeating units of (B1) in an amount of 10 to 90 mol % and repeating units of (B2) in an amount of 10 to 90 mol %: ##STR14## in which each of R.sup.11, R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 independently is hydrogen or methyl; each of L.sup.11 and L.sup.12 independently is a single bond or a divalent linking group selected from the group consisting of --CO--, --O--, --NH--, an alkylene group and a combination thereof; M.sup.1 is hydrogen or an alkali metal; and R.sup.14 is an alkenyl group.
