[NHCOLL-L:2124] Entomological pins

[Sue Lewis]

My name is Suzanne Lewis and I am the Conservation Officer for the
Entomology Department, the Natural History Museum, London. I am currently
working on a project with Jill Kerr (Natural Science Conservator, The
Ulster Museum, Belfast) on corrosion products and the compostition of
Entomological pins. We are testing the current range of pins available for
quality so we would be very interested to know what type (brand and
supplier) of pins you use in your collection. 

I would be grateful if you could send me these details so we can include
them in our study. Please reply to s.lewis at nhm.ac.uk

Many Thanks

Suzanne Lewis
