Survey on fur and feathers

Please consider completing a very short survey on the care and
conservation of fur and feather materials in your collection:

The American Museum of Natural History recently completed an
extensive renovation of the historic dioramas in its Hall of North
American Mammals. In the course of this work, many advances were
made in the development of materials and methods for the care and
conservation of mammal and avian taxidermy. Equally plentiful,
however, were new questions and opportunities to consider where
techniques could be further improved in support of future
preservation efforts.

The survey aims to investigate the extent to which the avenues for
further research identified at the AMNH coincide with needs observed
throughout the larger community of those caring for cultural and
historical collections that include fur and feather materials. Thank
you for contributing.
