Hi Marc,
Yes, I mean a recording hygrothermograph -- what a generous offer, and I accept. We can get our hands the tools needed to calibrate - I believe it takes a psychrometer, right? The best way to send to us is by UPS, using our account number for payment.
Shipping address is:

Thank you very much. I see your posts on Museum-L all the time, and it is obvious that you care about conservation and the museum field. We appreciate your help. If you are ever in the NYC area, please make a side trip to Bethel to see the site of the Woodstock festival and our 2-year-old museum. I would love to roll out the red carpet for you.
Wade

Wade,
If you mean a recording hygrothermograph (paper chart), I purchased one used on ebay a few years back and have never even taken it out of the shipping box. I would be glad to donate it to the museum if you pay for the postage. You must re-calibrate the RH after shipping or moving them in a car. Do you have a way of doing this?
If you mean a datalogger (digital file), I have one I can lend to you.

Hello colleagues,
I would like to borrow a recording hygrothermograph for two weeks and would
like to hear from anyone who has any leads or suggestions as to an
institution who might be willing to make the loan. Any help would be
appreciated.
