PURPOSE: To obtain the silver halide photographic sensitive material which has good static electricity resisting power and good coating performance and is improved in wet film strength in a development processing liquid, etc., by incorporating an anionic crosslinked polymer copolymerized with a specific ethylenic unsatd. monomer into the photosensitive material.

CONSTITUTION: This photosensitive material contains the anionic crosslinked polymer copolymerized with the copolymerizable ethylenic unsatd. monomer having at least one anionic functional groups in the nonphotosensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer on the extreme surface constituting this photosensitive material and contains gelatin contg. ≥12wt.% high-mol. wt. component in the hydrophilic colloidal layer. The three; coating performance, film strength and static electricity resisting power, are simultaneously made into the good performances by making combination use of the gelatin contg. the high-mol. wt. component and the polymer in such a manner.
