Doll storage

[J2Hammond@xxxxxxx]

I am preparing a small collection of dolls for storage.  Having provided 
adequate barriers between the dolls and their original boxes and tissue, I am 
interested in comments on the storage of rubber-based "leather" components 
(belts, shoes, purses, etc.) and whether or not the inevitable changes in 
those materials pose long-term problems for the other materials in the box.  
Would enclosure of a buffering agent (such as MicroChamber board) be 
appropriate? Should these accessories be encased and stored separately within 
the boxes?

And is flat or upright storage best for dolls with "sleeper" eyes?

Thanks for any suggestions.
