Hello everyone!

Pardon my jumping in, but I am on a noble mission(?).  I have been
approached by a friend, with the following question.

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
small one, she is hoping to find a financially prudent strategy for
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.

Linda
