[Nhcoll-l] Bird wings

[Haff, Tonya (NCMI, Crace)]

Hi again,

I have a question about housing bird wings  - we have been growing our spread wing collection, and it's starting to take up a lot of space. I've heard of other institutions keeping smaller wings in Mylar sleeves in filing cabinets. If you have your collection stored in this way, could you let me know what you like or don't like about it? Is the Mylar durable enough? And does anyone have any other thoughts on ideal spread wing housing?

Thanks again!

Tonya
