[PADG:547] treating mold in archives and book collections

[Patti Gibbons <pgibbons@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I would very much like to talk to people who have experience treating
mold on archives and bound materials in house, and those who contract
work on moldy materials to outside vendors.

In particular, I am interested to learn more about your in-house
facilities (where you treat materials in your building, what equipment
you use); the type of staff who carry out the procedures; and the general
the techniques you use to treat mold.

If you have experience sending materials out for treatment, I would be
especially interested to hear about your experiences. I would like to
learn where people send their materials, the amount of material they
send, and general costs for treatments.

Any information is welcomed, 

Patti Gibbons
