>An organization devoted to preserving and maintaining old musical
>instruments has received a bequest including a good deal (for the
>organization) of older sheet music pieces.  My friend, the secretary/
>librarian for the organization, has some experience working in a
>museum environment, but not with sheet music.  She is looking for
>ideas and/or sources for materials to help preserve and store the
>sheet music.  Obviously (perhaps), since the organization is a relatively

>preserving the sheet music.

>(Lest you ask, she approached me because I work at the Library of Congress.
>Well, yes, except that I am not a MLS, but a Computer Specialist <G>!  So
>I thought I would check with you here, in addition to my local resources!)

>Thank you so much in advance, both on my friend's and my own behalf!

>Email or posted responses welcome.

solution
