<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’ve been working with Majkowski Woodworking Company (Poland) [www.majkowski.eu &
<a href="mailto:info@majkowski.eu">info@majkowski.eu</a> ) to produce entomological metal cabinets for a unique size of drawers for a museum overseas. They produce an excellent metal cabinet; their drawers are also excellent and pest proof. They have been
attending the Entomological Collections Network meetings as vendors the past several years. Because they are based in Europe, they are probably more cost-effective for collections on that side of the pond. Metal cabinets are much better and more archival
than wood for most situations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
