Hey All!

Thanks to everyone for their imput.

Please let me clarify CFM's position on labeling textiles.  We already sew
Reemay labels into all textiles but we also attach an accession tag on each
textile to reduce handling.  We also label all boxes with what is inside.
As for corrosion, yes I worry about it but I do not stress out about it
either.  We are fortunate to have storage that is very stable to both
temperature and humidity.  Yes, we are currently the hurricane capital of
the world and I have experienced leakage during and after storms but I must
report that we are now set up for a whole museum generator to stay
completely powered during storms so our HVAC continues to run.

I will finish by saying I am currently reaccessing our practice of using
the safety pins.

Once again, thanks for all the imput, y'all are great!

Tim
