<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello Heather -
<br>
Are you looking at reusing your current drawers in an exhibition? Are these Cornell drawers with pinned insects? If so there are a number of ways to do it. Finally are you looking to display the drawer in a cabinet (have the public pull the drawer in and
out?) or as a static display? I know - lots of questions - but the solution will depend on what you actually want.
<br>
<br>
If you are looking at pinned insects in Cornell drawers that are to be pulled out by the public you will have to mitigate vibration and shock. This can be done - but do not underestimate the damage to the specimens. If this is what you want - I can give
you some suggestions - on or off list as you desire -- I have done a number of study storage drawers of this type, although none with insects. I have dealt with custom wooden cabinets and have also adapted museum quality cabinets to hold the study storage
drawers. <br>
<br>
We have taken our Cornell drawers and simply included the entire drawer into vitrines, also into a wall case with many drawers. It really looks terrific!
<br>
<br>
Let me know more specifics.<br>

<div>We are redoing our insect exhibit and would like to have two sets of specimen drawers on exhibit. I'm not sure where to start in looking for sturdy cabinets with fiberglass protection. Does anyone out there have some experience and ideas? Also, how much
can I expect to pay for two 36" tall, 36 wide, 24 deep cabinets of exhibit quality?<br clear="all">
