[Nhcoll-l] Fluid course

[Dirk Neumann]

I have been lucky to gain from Simon's broad expertise during the 
KUR-Programme and haven't met a person being that much devoted to fluid 
preservation, collection care and restoration of historic collection 
objects before.

His broad practical knowledge can hardly be pressed into the few lines 
of a publication, and even though we didn't manage to bring Simon & his 
course to Germany yet, I can only encourage folks dealing with fluid 
collections to gain from Simon's expertise.

Being a freelancer he has to take money for the course, but this is well 
invested money, especially regarding (historic & modern) preservation 
techniques.

Book him, his course surely is worth every penny!

(wouldn't compliment Simon / his course that much if I had not learned 
so many details on fluid preservation in many fruitful discussions with 
Simon the recent years!)
