Re: Natural Resins on band caver the mummy

[Sarah Lowengard <sarahl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can you give me/us an idea of
1) what you have already read (or know of through your bibliographic search)?
2) what you are likely to have access to, in terms of  books, journals etc?

Have you, for example, reviewed materials on the conservation bibliographic database (www.bcin.ca)?  Can we assume you're familiar with the relevant literature published by the textile conservation community in the past decade or so? Do you have access to JSTOR or Project Muse, two full-text databases of journals, including art, science and materials sciences?*  

This information would make it possible for us to help you better.

Best regards
