We have a couple in our collection which are in their original boxes. The issue of storage and how best to handle them was raised by our learning department who have had all their masks from their handling collection sent off to have the filters removed due to them containing asbestos. I'd be grateful for any advice Natalie Raw Assistant Curator of Costume and Textiles Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery Queen Street Exeter EX4 3RX e-mail: [log in to unmask] telephone: 01392 665360 ###################################################################### Attention: This message and its contents are confidential and may also be privileged.
