Good morning, Museum L readers.We removed a high school letter jacket from a display case and during removal found silver fish in the case. That would be live silver fish. The jacket has leather sleeves, wool body and a man made lining, collar and cuffs. It's currently wrapped and duct taped in plastic and separated from the rest of the collection. Can a garment like this be frozen to kill potential silver fish or is there another approach?Thanks,Joan H Baldwin--
