I would suggest contacting the National Postal Museum, Smithsonian Institution, 2 Massachusetts Ave, NE, Washington DC 20560. Unless there has been a change, the collections manager's name is Ted Wilson. Laura Mahoney Office of Sponsored Projects Smithsonian Institution >>> Deborah Cooper <[log in to unmask]> 10/12/96 11:44am >>> Here at the Oakland Museum of California we have a small (a couple hundred) collection of postage stamps assembled by our first curator between 1910 and 1915. We would like to upgrade the housing for this collection, and I am wondering what the current recommendations are for archival storage of postage stamps? We would like to use sleeves of some sort for the individual stamps to facilitate physical sorting of the collection - first by catalogue number for inventory and record checking and then by Scott number for access and study. Advice regarding proper storage and sources for needed supplies would be very much appreciated. Thanks very much. Deborah Cooper Museum Collections Coordinator [log in to unmask]
