Topic: Help - 100% linen string for wet collection
Hello, I have a question for the museum community:
I work in the herpetology fluid collection here at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and we are looking for 100% Irish linen string for tag tying of our specimens. Any suggestions on where to find this? It's been a handful of years (before my time) that we've purchased this. I can only find waxed linen string and that's no good!
Best wishes,

Here are the upcoming online professional development opportunities at Museum Study for January and February 2018.

The Interpretive Exhibit Planners Toolbox course begins Jan 8 on MuseumStudy.com Guidelines and tools for planning and managing interpretive exhibit projects.

Join instructor John Veverka for this 4 week course designed for medium to small museums that may be doing most of their interpretive exhibits "in house". It provides a strategy to help them develop cost effective and "successful" interpretive exhibits (Provoke, Relate, Reveal) based on interpretive objectives and interpretive theme development and illustration.
