Dear Anne,
It would be nice to put a link, or at least a reference, to this
material on the website.

Hi Katie
Daniel Cull, a colleague of mine from National Museum of American
Indian did much of his research on "freezing" drums. Here's a link
to his paper.

I suggest you look on Museumpests.net for more information on
freezing before you rule it out. Ethno and natural history
conservators have frozen huge collection en masse and not found any
problems with things that many people were dubious about, including
hide drums and lots of wood.
