[NHCOLL-L:3901] Re: FW: Mylar for tags to go in artifact bags

[Cindy A Ramotnik]

Jill,

An online resource she should check is the resources link 
on the website for the Society for the Preservation of 
Natural History Collections 
<http://www.spnhc.org/?q=resources/index.html>. There 
she'll find two lists of supplies and suppliers, one in 
Canada <http://www.spnhc.org/files/supplies_cdn.pdf> and 
the other in the US 
<http://www.spnhc.org/files/RDU_handout__29_Jun_2006_.pdf>, 
for materials currently used by museums for the storage 
and preservation of natural history collections. Both 
lists provide a variety of suppliers for mylar products. 
Hopefully she'll find something useful.

Cindy
