Hello Nancy; Please check out the National Park Service Conserve O Gram [COG] on identifying mouse and rat damage in museum collections at 3/12-COG-Rodent-Damage.pdf (nps.gov)<https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/3-12-COG-Rodent-Damage.pdf> and COG 3/11: Identifying Museum Insect Pest Damage (nps.gov)<https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/03-11.pdf>. These two COGs include illustrations of damage that help with identifying the pests that cause the damage.
You might also take a look at the COG 2/ 8: Hantavirus Disease Health and Safety Update (nps.gov)<https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/02-08.pdf> that provides information on this rare but serious respiratory virus transmitted by mice and rats.

The ledger is calf skin covered, the damage is to the paper. I have my suspicion, but I don't want to prejudice anyone as to whom the culprit might be for this damage. Can I ask for ID suggestions?
