I think this is a great idea and I appreciate your offering to do it.
There are many of us at smaller institutions who wear a lot of hats and
have responsibility for preventive conservation while not being trained
conservators.  Speaking for myself, the conservation information that comes
across Museum-L is frequently very useful and raises awareness of issues
I might not otherwise have considered, or updates my knowledge about
specific situations that apply to our collection.
