Eve,

You may want to contact CV Fine Arts Services out of Atlanta, GA.  They 
recently removed our entire collection in preparations for a massive 
historic restoration and have handled moves for museums and private 
collectors around the country.  The firm is composed of trained art 
handlers and were quite invaluable at packing and reinstalling the 
collection following the work.  I would suggest contacting Sandy Taylor at 
404-733-6200, ext 142 to discuss your needs.  Good luck to you in getting 
your project started.

Best,

Matt
