To reduce an error in reading by enabling the reading of information for showing a specific condition imparted to a photographic original housed in a photographic original container, from its outside.

In the photographic original container 1, the photographic original is held between the outermost periphery of a belt-like material 20 after being wound by a first roller 21 and the belt-like material 20 wound by the first roller 21, to wind the belt-like material 20 by the first roller 21, so that plural photographic originals are wound/housed in a state where the order of housing, that is, the order of winding is kept, without being spliced. Further, a hole is made in the vicinity of the photographic original port of a container main body 11, through a guide 16, an insertion guide 17 and the container main body 11, to provide a window part 100. Then, the information optically imparted to a copied original housed in the photographic original container 1 is read by a reader having an OCR, a bar code reader, etc., or visual recognition or the like, through the window 100.
