We don't have a conservator for our natural science collection. Important
specimen go out to be worked on if needed. Most of these (that are turning
to powder) have no data attach to them. There are for exhibit examples this
is a mammoth tooth or rib ecc...
There kept at a temp. of 70f. and  humidity at 50%, and in acid free boxes
when of display.
