[Nhcoll-l] Butterfly Cabinet Conservators/Preservation

[Christy Bills]

Hi Ashley,
I'd recommend Oliver Keller for entomology appraisal. Not sure who else is doing it right now. https://entoconsulting.com/

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Butterfly Cabinet Conservators/Preservation

Hello!

I am hoping there is someone on here who can help point me in the right direction. I have an older butterfly/entomology display case (1940's ish) with several drawers of butterflies and beetles in varying stages of completeness. Some have disintegrated completely, while others still look pretty good. I'm interested in having the case assessed for its value and whether or not it would be worth conserving (and what that would look like.)

This is my first foray into the entomology preservation world, if anyone has any guidance on a good source I would greatly appreciate it!

Best,
Ashley
