[Nhcoll-l] Conservation of Botanical Collections

[Pette, J.W. (Jan)]

Dear Liz,
Sorry for my late reaction, I was thinking how to help you but I am afraid. I can't be of any use. The university museum in Utrecht has nearly no herbarium objects. In The Netherlands most herbariums are concentrated in Leiden and Wageningen. I am sorry but, since we hardly have any plant material, I have no special contact with them.
But I do have a question for you; in the collection of the University museum in Utrecht we have a fluid preparation collection of plant materials and, more specific, plant diseases. The special part of it is that they have been stained with several salts to approach the natural colors. Do you know somebody who has experience these kind of fluid preparated objects and can help me any further? They have been made in the first half of the last century and the fluid is formalin based.
Any help (contact, article) will be more than welcome.
With kind regards,
Jan Willem Pette

Victoria Purewal has suggested that I contact you, because we will be running a short course on the Conservation of Botanical Collections in September 2017 and I wonder if you could possibly help us with promotion.  If you are not the right person to contact about this, please could you forward?
