Hopefully, she'll see this... Hi, Mirela! I received your nice Christmas greetings. I have been saving your earlier post to Musum-L re: pest management techniques. Are you familiar with the publication, "Integrated Pest Management" by Keith Storey? If not, please let me know and I'll send you an address where you can get more information from the Smithsonian Institution's conservation group. Also, another question which may seem "out of the blue"...are you by chance a Christian? If so, are you an Orthodox Christian? What makes me ask is in your textile email, you mention iconostasis curtains and altar cloths. I am an Orthodox Christian (Russian) and was interested in learning more about these textiles -- and perhaps picking up an Orthodox penpal from across the seas! :^) At present I work for a software firm that does collections management software for museums, libraries & archives, Re:discovery Software, Inc. (www.rediscov.com). Prior to joining the company in May, I had worked as a curator of collections for almost 15 years. I look forward to corresponding with you. Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year! VivianLea Stevens [log in to unmask]
