[Nhcoll-l] flooding disasters & prepping for El Nino

[Hawks, Catharine]

Hi James

Here are a couple that have info on what is needed to salvage collections from water disasters. 

Salvage techniques for paleontology specimens, study skins, botanical specimens, and skulls and skeletons. C. Hawks. In First Aid for Art (B. Roberts and J. Hutchins, eds.). Marquand Books, 2006. (now available as a e-book)

Help! A Survivor’s Guide to Emergency Preparedness. Edited by C. Ball and A. Yardley-Jones. Museum Excellence Series Book 3. Museums Alberta, Edmonton.  (currently under revision)

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] flooding disasters & prepping for El Nino

As part of our preparing for flood disaster response, I was wondering if there were specific publications or reports - in print or (even better) online - that best illustrate the impacts of flood (i.e. rising water) on natural history collections, ideally the impacts on anthropology/ethnographic materials. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
