Hi Heather,
 
I did write a large chapter in the book about fluid specimens - Care  & 
Conservation of Natural History Collections (eds Carter & Walker)  1999, but 
which has been out of print for some time.  It's slightly out of  date now but 
have a look to see if you can borrow a copy, otherwise you may have  to 
wait until NatSCA (Natural Sciences Collections Assoc'n) have got all the  
rights and can re-has the book (soon but unspecified as to when!)
 
Otherwise John Simmons should be producing an opus on this subject  soon.
 
With all good  wishes, Simon

Hello all, 
I am currently working on developing a system for profiling the alcohol  
collection at the NC State Insect Museum. I am aware of the McGinley paper and 
 Favret et al. paper pertaining to profiling systems. However I am having a 
 difficult time locating publications describing best practices for 
updating  and/or maintaing a wet collection.  Any suggestions are most  
appreciated. 
Thank you!
