Re: Exhibit Cases



There is a company here in Ontario which designs, constructs and sells
equipment for environmental control in whole gallery rooms or individual
exhibit cases.  The units are called microclimate generators and they are made
by Micro Climate Technology Inc., located in Burlington Ontario.  Don't know
if they have an email address but the telephone number I have for them is
(905) 637-8191.  I've seen these generators in use at several Canadian
museums, art galleries and archives and they are wonderful.
