<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Maria,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The museum I just moved from would freeze dry various specimens (mostly insects) for its collections. You should contact Darryl Jeffries or John Early at Auckland Museum for the details. I can only remember John’s email (<a href="mailto:jearly@aucklandmuseum.com">jearly@aucklandmuseum.com</a>
…I think Darryl was dsjeffries@aucklandmuseum.com but am not sure).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have extensive experience with freeze drying archaeological waterlogged wood, but not organisms.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, I was wondering if you have experience with freeze-drying. I am interested in use it with, insects, small reptiles and birds. Is it efficient as a method to preserve small specimens? Has anyone any suggestions on a good model?<o:p></o:p></p>
