[NHCOLL-L:5325] Re: Fluid preservation course in UK

[John E Simmons]

I participated in Simon's fluid preservation course at the Horniman in
November 2010 and I personally encourage everyone who is interested in fluid
preserved collections--particularly those of you who work with old
collections--to take this workshop if you can. Simon is a terrific
instructor and the Horniman facilities are excellent.  You will learn a lot
of very useful things.  A write-up about the course is due to appear in the
upcoming SPNHC Newsletter.

There is a very reasonable bed and breakfast a short walk from the museum
and near the train lines.  Feel free to contact me off-list if you would
like to know the details about the B&B.
