Hello The Freshwater Biological Association was partly flooded during storm Desmond over the weekend. Some of our wet samples and specimens suffered from the flooding. Particularly affected was a series of boxes containing fish scales, and stored in three different ways: - On microscope slides, stored in mounted leather boxes (date: early 1908s). These boxes are very wet; - On glass, kept in envelopes, themselves kept in wooden boxes (date: early 1990s); - - in small envelopes, with the fish scales slid into the enveloped. These envelopes generally indicate date and place of collection (1912-1922). There are 23 boxes of such envelopes. I would be very grateful for any advice on how to dry and preserve these fish scales. Many thanks Isabelle ________________________________ Dr Isabelle Charmantier Information Scientist Freshwater Biological Association The Ferry Landing, Far Sawrey Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 0LP Tel: +44 (0)1539 442468 Fax: +44 (0)1539 446914 [cid:image001.jpg@01D13271.811A1B00]<http://www.fba.org.uk/>[cid:image002.gif@01D13271.811A1B00][cid:image003.gif@01D13271.811A1B00]<https://www.facebook.com/freshwaterbio>[cid:image004.gif@01D13271.811A1B00]<https://twitter.com/freshwaterbio>[cid:image005.jpg@01D13271.811A1B00]<https://www.linkedin.com/company/3716816> ________________________________ ________________________________ The Freshwater Biological Association - www.fba.org.uk Registered Address: The Ferry Landing, Far Sawrey, Ambleside, Cumbria, LA22 0LP, England Registered Charity No. 214440 Company Limited by Guarantee No. 263162, England UKPRN No. 10018314, VAT No. GB153895238 This communication may contain privileged or confidential information which is exempt from disclosure under English law and this information may not be used or disclosed except for the purpose for which it has been sent.
