Re: GLOVES



First - congratulations on acquiring an "Archival Specialist". They are a
rare wonderful item that requires special handling. Now on to more important
things;

"I was told that these are special gloves for use when Accessioning a new
item.  Does anyone know if I can wash these gloves via the washing machine,
or should I just throw them out and get new ones?"

Unfortunately washing will destroy the evidentiary value of the gloves as
well as removing the genetic coding deposited by your predecessor. Hopefully
you have documented their provenance and have maintained them in their
original order ie all right hands together, all left hands together or
alternating right and left or were they just thrown in a jumble? If you do
decide to wash them you might want to scan them and save them to CD-ROM as a
way of documenting their condition.


Good luck in your new position (Seriously)
;-)
