Does anyone have experience with the "care and feeding" of birch bark
canoes in their collections? We are looking for information about how
you maintain them as collections objects, what particular preservation
or conservation issues they may have, and also how you transport them.
We are potentially facing a situation where we would be moving one by
truck from another town about 4 hours away, and we would also be moving
the canoe on and off exhibit once it's here. If anyone has any
experience or expertise with this type of object, I'd very much like to
hear from you.

 

Thank you!
