There is a good outline of the stepping procedure usually followed by natural history collections here:  https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/11-01.pdf

We want to change the preservative of an old human sample in Formaldehyde now. The most useful preservative for us is 70 % ethanol. I know there is a process to pass from one preservative to another, but I would like to ask you about one or some papers - texts that specifics this on a protocol. 

Thanks in advance

Sergio
