you can easily develop yourself in a tray in a darkroom using 2 powered chemicals mixed with water, or send the sheets to a commercial photo lab.
but it sounds to me like you've already handled them in the light.
and if so, you're outta luck.
sheet film is used in view cameras, and in early days was called "press" film and used by lots of newspaper guys using speed graphic cameras.
they still make it.
if you are sure the film has not been exposed to light go to google and do a search under "commercial photography lab", they can develop the sheet film and make prints from it.

you are right on the money bro! Grandpa was photographer for the newspaper, and he used a speed graphic (infact i still have a few of them.
The film IS 4x5 sheets.
BUT they have been steadily exposed to light, and are not ruined. Maybe they are not negatives? I mean they sure look like negatives, but the light didnt ruin them.
I was hoping to have them developed for x-mas as a present to an older relative, but i dont think it will happen. Most places are telling me i need to send it out to get done.
What type of places have dark room on the premises? Maybe a wedding photo place? i dunno ...
