[Nhcoll-l] Bird wing storage

[Heather Janetzki]

Hi Tonya,
I thought I would contribute an idea for wing storage at the Queensland Museum.
Small wings in clear folders in a filing cabinet.
Medium wings in sleeves and hung by coat hangers on rail inside cupboards

*       Timber rod in slot at top for support

*       Sit in on leading edge and easy to access
Large wings stored in 'map' style drawer

*       Similar to medium wings but with map cabinet tape along the top to fit on metal spikes for hanging

*       Metal spikes offset so they go through adjoining holes in tape.

*       Slide the wing you need to the gap and open out metal spikes. ( I have taken out a lot of the wings so you can see the spikes)

*       Timber box front face is on runners to pull out and tilts to open metal spikes
Very large wings (albatross) are still stored flat on a shelf although I like the hanging idea suggested.



Kind regards,

Heather
