Nicole,

I am sending you a URl to the Objects Specialty Group (AIC) page that
has tips related to the big move of Native American artifacts from
Brooklyn (The Heye collection) to the recently openned Museum of the
American Indian in Washington D.C. The tips are in PDF format and will
prove useful for many on this list in relation to fabricating
housings, and moving collections etc.

You also might want to check out the society for the preservation for
natural history collections page:

Cheers!
