I would recommend that you order a copy of the Exhibit Conservation
Guidelines CD-ROM put out by the NPS Harpers Ferry Center Division of
Conservation.  This product can either be used on the computer or can
be printed out to obtain a hard copy.  This is an excellent and
comprehensive guide on everything from theory on developing safe
exhibition procedures to specifics on case materials and
construction.   For more information see
