[Nhcoll-l] Archival paper

[Lazo-Wasem, Eric]

Hi Gabriela,

YEARS ago I custom ordered from University Products Byron Weston Resistall paper in circular rolls with tear off "tractor feed" holes for using with dot-matrix printers.  Yes, I am THAT old.  This was probably ca. 1987, and I recall that an error resulted in an extra roll being produced, and I still using the last of the three rolls for field labels (thousands left).  I recall University Products being the only company willing to produce/obtain the paper, which has been used for labels in our division (Invertebrate Zoology) since the late 1950s/early 1960s.  This particular label stock is virtually indestructible in formalin or alcohol.  Some time later, UP carried the paper in sheet stock, and I bought some  years ago.  I have labels I wrote 39 years ago that are unchanged today.

A quick google search find distributors now in the UK; not sure any company in the US is still producing it.

Hi everyone,

I am having a difficult time finding 100% cotton rag paper that we can use inside fluid (ethanol & formalin) filled specimen jars for identification tags, field labels, etc.

After some serious searching, I found these:
66-20905 - 125 sheet reams of Crane's Crest Smooth Fluorescent White 90C, 8.5x11 | https://www.mohawkconnects.com/stock-check/66-20905<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mohawkconnects.com%2Fstock-check%2F66-20905&data=05%7C01%7Ceal5%40connect.yale.edu%7C76491cdbcc9745f6b61d08dab69b7615%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638023076196929405%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QvIft7BGYbc7ggiJhmUKnnnjCKLBaybOUI0dQkF5E4Y%3D&reserved=0>

But even the 90C is really thick and would be difficult to work with.

Any suggestions or vendor contacts will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
