We have some rare books that have come into our collection and do not currently have the staff/time/space to inventory each and every one and house them on book shelving. I would like to store the books in standard 10X12X14 archival boxes wrapped in acid free tissue paper temporarily. Aside from checking the books from mold how would you advise storing the books in these boxes? Would it be highly damaging to stack the books in the boxes? Thanks in advance for any advice you send my way. C. Stumm ===== The federal budget deficit is increasing. In 2000, the year before President Bush took office, the federal budget, excluding Social Security, showed a SURPLUS of $86.6 billion. The current national DEBT as of June 20th 2004 is over $7 trillion. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
