Dear colleagues, Mid-January I put out a call to canvas contents of your emergency equipment boxes. Many thanks to the dozens of people who got back to me; the response was far more positive than I expected. Many institutions wished me to circulate my findings so I put together a list of most commonly used emergency equipment for your information. Please see it below. The major emergency equipment suppliers were Buck and Hickman, office suppliers, Preservation Equipment Ltd., Conservation By Design and local hardware suppliers.
