[NHCOLL-L:1723] Re: Archival Paper

[Diane Gutenkauf]

Many registrars use Tyvek (r), a spun bonded polyester fabric. It can be written on with a solvent resistant ink or typed on using an impact printer. It is also dermestid resistant.

I am looking for a source of archival quality, non-acidic, 100% 
rag/cotton paper to be used as labels for benthic infaunal  specimens 
stored in 70% ethanol. I need a good substitute for Resistall which 
holds up very well over time, but is acidic. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
