Do you have the option to make and display a cast of the tombstone and
place the original in protected storage?

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Displaying Tombstones

Does anyone know of a resource, or know how to securely display a
tombstone without using a display case or compromising the artifact? The
museum I work at wants to move the 100+ year old tombstone we have out
of it's case and lean it up against a wall while sitting on a platform.
I want to make sure that it can be secured before we attempt anything.
The only idea we have come up with is using an epoxy to secure an eye
bolt to the back of it. Any suggestions would be a great help.
