I have been going through the same process -- and still am. Here are the things I have come across so far -- but nothing really nitty-gritty. I am looking for a course in one of the many museum studies programs in the Boston area, but no luck so far. If you get any useful information off-list, could I ask you to forward it on to me? THe NEw Museum Registration Methods has a chapter on preparation that's not very specific AASLH (American Assoc of State and Local History) Technical Leaflet "Exhibit Mounts on a Budget" -- perhaps the most detailed and useful -- ordering information on their website National Park Service Conserv O Grams (there are a few for specific types of collections, such as basketry and works on paper -- free pdf download from their website Canadian Conservation Institute's Technical Bulletin #14, "Working with Polyethylene Foam and fluted plastic sheet" is useful -- order through their website Good luck, Juliette Rogers Collections Manager Stephen Phillips Trust House Salem, Mass. -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Jerry Fahey Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 4:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Mount-Making Hello everyone, I've just finished Mount-Making for Museum Objects from the Canadian Conservation Institute. Although it has some very good information in it, I'm looking for something a little more in-depth. More of a step by step format. Particularly dealing with metal armatures and shaping plexiglass. Anyone have any suggestions??
