HOUSING SOLUTIONS
Coming up with storage solutions that align with basic preservation measures can be challenging. Having a compilation of samples can be a big help in assessing how to proceed. This manual uses specific items in Houghton's collections to illustrate solutions to difficult housing problems. Throughout the Manual, there are also slide presentations, videos, links, and verbal explanation that provide training on various routine procedures. Preservation and End-processing collaborate on many things. The End-processing manual serves as a repository for some overlapping activities, such as rolled storage. This can be helpful to anyone looking for an example of a particular type of material or housing for a lecture or seminar.
