[Nhcoll-l] buffered paper in collections

[Charles M. Dardia]

It has been long advised to avoid enclosures made from carbonate buffered paper or boards to store natural history specimens. Is there any advice, wisdom or facts out there concerning the use of buffered paper for labels?  Particularly those labels tied to the legs of bird and mammal specimens?

Any help appreciated.
