Hi All,
Conservators at the National Park Service's Harpers Ferry Center are pleased to share two new
Conserve O Grams:
Conserve O Gram 4:5: Storage Techniques for Hanging Garments: Padded Hangers at https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/4-5-Padded-Hangers-2020.pdf - This document is a complete update (100% revamp) of a 1994 publication. It includes many new techniques and materials choices.
Conserve O Gram 3/12: Identifying Mouse and Rat Damage in Museum Collections at https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/3-12-COG-Rodent-Damage.pdf - This document covers a completely new topic for this publication series, focusing on ID'ing mouse and rat damage specifically. It serves as a companion to the Conserve O Gram 3/11 Identifying Museum Insect Pest Damage at https://www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/03-11.pdf
Enjoy!
