<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Bethany,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You might talk to Ged Wiren at Auckland Museum (<a href="mailto:gwiren@aucklandmuseum.com">gwiren@aucklandmuseum.com</a>). He led a large collection move to a new offsite store 5 years or so ago.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I seem to recall that they combined a storage upgrade with the move so that some of the packing for the move was the same as the new storage housing. This meant the packing didn’t have to be thrown out after the move. For example, large
specimens on pallets – the pallets and tie-downs were used to doble as the shelving and earthquake protection. It meant higher quality, more expensive materials sued for the pallets and packing, but it wasn’t thrown out. Also, padded Ethafoam nests in archival
boxes were sometimes high quality enough to enable a move from the downtown site to the offsite storage. The contents of the boxes were stable for a move.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ged would be able to give you pointers on all stages of the move.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking for advice for our upcoming move to a new site. Has anyone undertaken a big museum move in recent years and could advise on 1. packing materials (what to use but with sustainability in mind) and 2. European suppliers for potentially
'renting' boxes and crates so we don't have to buy new?<o:p></o:p></p>
