<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The UWYMV is interested in switching over to using glass vials to help store some of our small skeletal parts. We're hoping this will help us save space in our collections, and also make these small skeletons more accessible then the large (well large
 compared to the tiny skeletons and skulls in them) archival boxes they are currently stored in.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have any recommendations for companies and types of glass vials they use to store skeletal material?</div>
<div>We were also looking at plastic vials, but are not sure that they would hold up over the years the same as the glass.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Beth Wommack</div>
