the most stable and does not interact well with collections. PP or PE would be a more suitable material. I would also stay away from wood based materials as well unless they are well sealed with a water based, not oil, coating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Another idea would be slat board, which comes with a variety of hooks and devices to accommodate almost any scenario. It comes in PVC for museum
quality storage. We used slat board in the storage area of the Fairbanks Museum in Vermont to hang our taxidermy, which routinely fell off the S hooks and peg board they initially hung from (!) Our space was limited…no compacters and no room for rolling
shelves. Wall space was the only viable option for storing large mounts. Once the change was made, nothing fell off the wall during my tenure!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Our facility (The National Wildlife Property Repository) is a unique one in the fact that we are a facility for abandoned/seized wildlife products. Originally we were a salvage facility and things weren't' meant to be
kept for long term. However, as our mission continues to evolve more towards an educational/outreach, the need for long(er) term preservation storage is becoming more of an issue. We are in the midst of a redesign for the space which will be small steps over
time so we are trying to be smart about how we do this so we don't cause more work for ourselves in the future. Honestly, I am the first person to work here with a museum collections background and it's A LOT to work with. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We have two spaces in mind for this set up - one is a simple drywall area which I am not sure if it will be load bearing enough. Actually, I am pretty sure it won't be. The other is a concrete block wall, which will more
likely be the spot being it can support much more weight. Right now it stores a lot of shipping material we use for the other program at our facility (The National Eagle Repository), however we are moving to different shipping materials that won't take up
as much space, freeing up this wall for mounts/display. I attached pictures of each space below to give you all an idea. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

were neatly piled where ever they fit. Later a room was remodeled with metal mesh on the walls and mounts were hung with “S” hooks. I found this very difficult when wanting to move a specimen or get one down for examination, etc. And I was noticing some pretty
severe damage to the skull specimens hanging that way. After the most recent remodel about 10 year ago I used commercial kitchen rolling shelves (see four attached photos). These are chrome steel with adjustable shelves. Each shelf is 2’ x 6’ but I’ve linked
them to be 4’ x 6’ units. Each is 7’8” high. The chrome shelf is lined with ethafoam and heads, etc. sit on the foam. The room has a 12’ ceiling so the top shelf can hold large specimens. If nothing extends beyond the boundary of the shelf unit the units can
be rolled into a compact formation similar to a compactor unit. This allows me to hold more specimens in the room than if they were hanging on the walls and have easier access to them for work. The commercial shelving was not overly expensive and available
locally. Just an idea that might help with some of your specimens.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
