Hello,

I was hoping that someone could suggest a book or resource that would 
help me determine how to properly house and store large, cumbersome 3-D 
objects.  I have a number of akward pieces in the archive that I need 
to take care of and I am unsure of exactly what to do, For example I 
have a large piece of glass, approximately 5'x3', that has pieces of 
books, tennis balls and tubes attached to it and sticking out of it, a 
table cloth that has an intentional stain of instant coffee, espresso, 
koolaid, worcestershire sauce, pepto-bismol, dirt, potting soil, dried 
blood, glass, manure, plaster, coffee, sawdust, soot, paint pigment, 
paprika, tumeric, curry, clothing dye, tidy bowl pellet, pepto-bismol 
and boiled ham. I also have a large plexiglass cone, 56 1/2" x 19 5/8" 
and a plexiglass ball, 35" in diameter. This is only a small sampling 
of the various objects.

Clearly no cabinet or box is large enough for these objects and I do 
not know what I need to do to keep them clean and safe. Any suggestions 
or resources would be most appreciated.

oh, here is a link if you want to see the cone and ball

and a link to the table cloth
