I second
Jenny's suggestion, and also recommend looking at the National Park Service's
Conserve O Gram series and specifically Number 5/2, which addresses exactly
your
concerns.

I would strongly recommend getting a copy of
"Storage of Natural History Collections: Ideas and Practical solutions" by
Carolyn L. Rose and Amparo R. de Torres. They have great instructions on
storage of headdresses of various types.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Storage of Native American
headdresses
Can anyone send me instructions or best practices for the
storage of Native American headdresses? We have the personal memorabilia of
Bishop W. Angie Smith in our archives. The collection includes several
headdresses that were presented to him as gifts (he was the Bishop for the
Indian Mission of the Methodist Church from 1943-1968). Please email me
directly if more info is needed.
Thanks, Christina
