[Nhcoll-l] rehydrating dried bird skin: searching for old text or new resources

[Opitz, Cindy E]

Hello!
Does anyone have access to this text? I can find citations but not the actual text.
Summers. P. (1979). Relaxing and cleaning old cabinet bird skins. Guild of Taxidermists Newsletter, 4, 22-24.<https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1GCEJ_en&sxsrf=ALeKk00LypmpO2Io5kz1mF7Z8JzLEicgKg:1628792498928&q=Summers.+P.+(1979).+Relaxing+and+cleaning+old+cabinet+bird+skins.+Gui1d+of+Taxidermists+Newsletter,+4,+22%E2%80%9424.&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiTrb7yjKzyAhXYbc0KHXb8BmYQgwN6BAgBEAE>

Or, can anyone suggest newer resources on rehydrating old, dried bird skin? My current application is for removing bones from a dried bird wing, without damaging the feathers. Can a 100-year-old skin be rehydrated for bone extraction?
