I would like to compile a bibliography of helpful resources (books, websites, etc.) for the attendees. However, most of the websites and books that I'm familiar with are geared more toward those with conservation/museum training. Does anyone have suggestions for helpful resources aimed at people with little or no professional training in artifact preservation/conservation. (I'm going in with the assumption that the attendees will be most interested in conserving photos, paper-based materials, and textile.) Thanks in advance for any help, Amanda Dyer Bell County Museum ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
