Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Marking Taxidermy



Hi Everyone,



I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me as google is proving to be no help today! We are prepping for an upcoming exhibit and would like to mark a large group of mammals and ornithological specimens that currently only have storage labels.   Does anyone have any suggestions on how to mark object id's on critters?



Thanks in advance,

Beth
