# haha nicely done that must have really got up nose :D
I have a friend who works at the Natural History Museum in Oxford he does all the Photography of the exhibits and usually plays pranks on the Archiving Dept. as they are so anally retentive - They complained once because the Museum ordered bubble-wrap for archiving exhibits - they complained it contains the wrong type of air and could damage the exhibits!

# I guess it's part of their job to be retentive to be honest!
I am surrounded by curators given the age of some of our stuff in the library, and your friend may be onto something, we have been wrapping lots of our old books in specialist acidic free wrapping, and have just finished replacing all our archive negative photographic plates in specialist packaging. Curators tend to be ultra cautious, which isn't a bad thing; what they are in charge with is generally not replaceable!
