Dear Chris,
I agree with David Harvey's comments.
Also, regarding mold or mildew, the likely problem with any organic material
exposed to moisture, I would suggest calling the conservation department of
the nearest museum large enough to have a conservation dept. and ask for
their advice.
Or, check the website for the AIC (American Institute for Conservation of
Art & Historic Artifacts, Wash.DC) for info. http://aic.standford.edu
