[Nhcoll-l] Old slides

[John E Simmons]

Paul,
A couple references on this topic that I have found very useful
(particularly Neuhaus et al):

Moore, S. J. 1979. Restoration of the Quekett Microscope Slide Collection.
*Microscopy* 33:489-494.



Neuhaus, B., T. Schmid, and J. Riedel. 2017. Collection management and
study of microscope slides: storage, profiling, deterioration, restoration
procedures, and general recommendations. *Zootaxa* 4322(1):1-173.
