<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am working on a project to update the labels, condition reports, and digital data associated with specimens from three collections of large mammal taxidermy we have at the Connecticut State Museum of Natural
History (CSMNH) at the University of Connecticut. We have ~130 mounts of (mostly) African and North American ungulates and carnivores and they will all need new labels. We have full body mounts (on bases), head mounts, and shoulder mounts in these collections.
For those of you who take care of big mammal taxidermy, what kind(s) of labels do you use for these different types of mounts? How do you attach them to the animals/bases? What has worked for you (also, what hasn’t worked)? What are your ideal methods and
supplies? I welcome any information you would like to send (including details on where you purchase your labeling materials). I will compile all the information I receive and send it out to the listerv for future reference—thank you all in advance for your
help!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
