Certainly a good example of the effects of catastrophic flooding on natural history collections...
Danke sehr, Dirk.

Hi James,

it might be worth to compare the Tarmann paper: Flood disaster: a case study. The PDF is quite heavy, but natsca kindly offers a free download to this valuable resource (includes also other interesting papers on collection care) - see below.

Maybe this case study is useful

All the best
Dirk

> 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.
