<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Within the next year we will be moving our entire natural history collection to a new collections facility. This will include 24 cabinets of pinned insects in Cornell drawers. Can anyone advise on the best way to move the drawers to mitigate
damage to specimens from jostling while on the truck and while loading? We’re only moving about 0.5 miles but the road is a bit bumpy in places. We’re planning to use a truck with pneumatic air suspension but are wondering about the best method to actually
pack the drawers. In boxes? Wrapped in moving blankets? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks! <u></u><u></u></p>
