I am new to Museum-L and would like to ask a question.  Our museum is working
with professional exhibit researchers and designers for the first time.
Unfortunately, there is a remote possibility that we may have to use a
contractor to build the exhibit cases who does not have museum experience.

I am looking for a publication on, or guidelines to, building exhibit
furniture.  The types of issues I need addressed are, what types of adhesives
are safe when building closed exhibit cases, what kinds of composite board
(plywood, chipboard) should be avoided . . . I need a crash course on exhibit
construction for the non-professional!

Does any such publication exist?
