RE: Doin' dishes
Uline makes custom-sized foamies ... and U-Haul has
dishpaks ... but for softer non-abrasive slip-in packing ... i would consider
using the bags that silver plates come in (i.e. Tiffany or Asprey)
...
however ... i am not sure if any of the above are archival

Hi
all, and please excuse the cross-posting:
Our
museum's acquired the archive of a former major porcelain manufacturer, and
we are in the process of cataloguing and moving the collection to our
building.
This
includes some 1000+ of flat plates, and we need some way to pack them for local,
one-way transport while keeping the number identification tags
which are associated with them from becoming
separated.
Does
anyone have any suggestions? Are there any kind of archival-quality,
non-abrasiove dish 'envelopes' or separators available commercially that
can be used to contain and separate the plates so they can travel
vertically, while accommodating the tags? I don't have the time
or resources to create our own dividers from
scratch.
Thank
you for any advice or info,
batja
