A silver halide light-sensitive material comprises a support, a hardening layer and a light-sensitive layer in order. The light-sensitive layer contains silver halide and a hydrophilic polymer. The hardening layer or the light-sensitive layer contains a reducing agent. The hardening layer contains a mixture of a polymer (A) and a polymer (B). The mixture contains the polymer (A) in an amount of 5 to 70 wt. % and the polymer (B) in an amount of 30 to 95 wt. %. The polymer (A) comprises repeating units of (A1) in an amount of not less than 95 mol %. The polymer (B) comprises 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 %. ##STR1##
