Our James Monroe Museum gets ph-balanced supplies from Hollinger Corp., here in Fredericksburg, Virginia, 50 miles south of DC--they've got an array of ph-balanced materials.  You might want to check their website, <http://www.hollingercorp.com> where you can click on (or go directly to) their subsidiary site, <http://www.genealogicalstorageproducts.com>

I work in a small museum in Washington, DC.  I have finally convinced my 
supervisors to purchase acid-free corrugated board so that I can rehouse 
the collection properly.  However, the shipping is prohibitively 
expensive.  For two boxes of 40" x 60" board, which cost about $400, the 
shipping is $128.  I've tried Gaylord, Archivart, University Products, 
Light Impressions, and Conservation Resources Ltd., but I can't find a 
lower price.  My supervisors asked me to find out if the board is available 
locally.  Does anyone know if you can buy acid free corrugated board 
anywhere in the DC area?  In craft stores, perhaps?  Or does anyone have a 
solution to the shipping issue?

Thank you for your help.
