Hi, We will put a linkto Dan Cull's research on low temperature treatment for stretched hides on museumpests.net soon. Anne, thanks for pointing it out to the list.
In the meantime Ellen Carrlee's article Anne mentions below is in the low temperature bibliography in Treatments on museumpests.net here but we will make sure the link is added. http://museumpests.net/treatment.asp treatment Emily From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Appelbaum & Himmelstein Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pestlist] detecting woodborers Dear Anne, It would be nice to put a link, or at least a reference, to this material on the website. Barbara 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. http://www.nmai.si.edu/collections/files/Mechanical_Behavior_of%20Animal_Hides_at_Low_Temperatures.pdf Here is some other work done at NMAI http://cool.conservation-us.org/coolaic/jaic/articles/jaic42-02-002_indx.html Anne Anne Kingery Project Conservator George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 12:35 PM, Appelbaum & Himmelstein <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I suggest you look on Museumpests.net for more information on freezing before you rule it out.
