Moving collections

This is a follow-up to my request for information on packing and
moving museum collections, which was posted to this list a little
while ago.  I would like to extend my belated but heartfelt thanks
to everyone who responded; I must confess that I was somewhat
overwhelmed by the flood of information I received.  Many, many
thanks to everyone who took the time to help me.
