[Nhcoll-l] Shipping recommendations

[Cody Thompson]

Hi, Julian!  I recommend you contact Dan Burke (dburke at palmermoving.com)
from Palmer Moving.  They are based out of the Detroit area, but they are
an agent of Atlas Van Lines.  Dan organized our collections (15+ million
specimens) move across town, as well the move of a large herpetology
collection (50,000+ specimens) from Oregon State to Michigan.  If he cannot
coordinate directly, he can work with a local agent that can.

I hope that helps!

Take care,
Cody
