Subject: Protecting textiles from insects
I would be very interested in hearing from people about alternatives to moth balls which might protect textiles from insect attack. This request comes to me from an artist and as a paper conservator in a museum setting I have not had this problem before. This applies to textiles in two types of environments: storage in an artist's studio and also as part of a multi-media work of art which might remain on view indefinitely.
