<p class="MsoNormal">We have a small teaching collection at Wilkes that is in terrible shape and I am most worried about the specimens in jars. Eventually, though, I will need to deal with the mammals and birds as well.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have no experience with curation and I was wondering if there are some books that you could recommend to get me started (e.g., how to identify liquids, types of jars to use, etc). <o:p></o:p></p>
