Andy, my co-workers & I would be willing to add some health & safety data info/tables for your inventory list, staying in your deadline, if that would be of interest to you. It certainly would be useful for some form of your publication. Hard for me not to pass this one up! Please call or email me off-list to discuss.

MS218: Collection Inventories
Instructor: Peggy Schaller
Price: $475
Dates: Nov 5 through Nov 30, 2012
Location: online at www.museumclasses.org
Description:
Collection inventories are vital to collection management and security.
You need to know what is in your collection to be able to manage it well. This means regular inventories must occur. But knowing you must do them and actually having the time and manpower to complete an inventory are two different things. Collection Inventories discusses everything you ever wanted to know about collection inventories. From how to set one up to how to conduct an inventory. Other topics include what to look for during an inventory and how to reconcile the information.
Logistics:
Participants in Collection Inventories work through sections on their own. Instructor Peggy Schaller is available for scheduled email support.
Materials and resources include online literature, slide lectures and dialog between students and online chats led by the instructor. The course is limited to 20 participants.
Collection Inventories runs four weeks. To reserve a spot in the course, please pay at http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tas.html If you have trouble please contact Helen Alten at helen at collectioncare.org

Andy,
Could you send the current compilation of fluids that you have? That way we'll know if what we're sending is new and useful information rather than repeats only.
Thanks,
Bill

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Wet collection best practices - historical fluids
Hi all
As part of a wet collections best practices initiative led by the conservation department at the Natural History Museum in London and a workshop held at the NHM this past week we are trying to obtain an authoritative list of historical fluids used for fixation and preservation in wet collections from all disciplines. Besides the obvious fluids used nowadays (formalin, ethanol, isopropanol, glycerin, propylene glycol etc.) if you are aware of a historical fluid used in your collection, I would appreciate a list from you to add to our existing list. If you are aware of the formulation or chemical makeup of the solution that would be handy too along with the usual concentration that is used.
This information will be used to augment a wet collection best practices document that will be circulated to all through SPNHC and other routes upon completion.
Thanks
Andy

Dear all,
In my museum we normally use formalin and ethanol for preservation. We haven't yet opt for other chemicals than these.
