[Nhcoll-l] Taxidermy assistance

[Elizabeth Nunan]

There are a number of art/artifact conservators who are experienced in taxidermy treatment, and very few taxidermists who understand museum conservation.

The AIC (American Institute for Conservation) directory may lead you to conservators in your area: http://www.conservation-us.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageId=495

George Dante, of Wildlife Preservations, is a taxidermist who has worked with with a number of museums, including the recent renovation of AMNH's North American Mammal habitat diorama hall: http://wildlifepreservations.com/aboutus.html


Hope this is useful!

Does anyone have any leads/recommendations for a conservation taxidermist?
Feel free to reply off list.

Thanks in advance.
