I was just promoted to a site with a large collection of Taxidermy 
including Domestic and African species.  The collection entails about 30 pieces 
that span in age from the late 1960s to present day.  I have plenty of 
experience dealing with material culture, but not zoological.  What special 
cares do I need to consider with this type of material.  What light 
considerations need to be made and how does one maintain and clean such a 
collection?  Unfortunately our staff is small and we cannot hire someone who 
specializes in this type of material.  Any help would be most appreciated.  
Thank you.
