I wonder if some of the conservators on the list can help me.
I've some books that have bee stored for about ten years in an
unheated space that also may have been exposed to rodents. Is there
something I can treat them with to eliminate:
         the silverfish (adults and eggs?)
         mold spores
        odors?

Also, there are photos that have stuck together (humidity?) Can they
be soaked apart and then dried?

Is there a list of conservators?

Cheers,

Martin
