Thank you to
everyone who responded to my request for input on dealing with locks of hair in
a manuscript collection. The consensus was to keep the hair with the
correspondence/photo/etc. but isolate it in a "zip-lock" bag or other sealed
enclosure. That makes perfect sense and I am heartened to know that I was
on the right track in my thinking. Thanks, also to the individuals who
told me about their specific "hair problems," like the book of hair!
If anyone wants a
synopsis of Reponses, let me know and I will post them to the list. Thanks
again to everyone who responded. As always, this list is
great!
