Inquiry From:

I am a master's student at Texas A&M University. My research topic concerns
the conservation of hair fibers. I am specifically looking at two type of
wool, mohair, and human hair for my experiments, although my thesis will
touch upon other common archaeological fibers, such as alpaca.
I am attempting to gather more information on current conservation practices
used, but have had difficulty finding articles for the necessary background
research. When I found your website, I was thrilled to find a group such as
this. I am hoping you can either direct me to articles that discuss
different hair fiber conservation methods or can inform me of common
practices used by those in this organization. I am also hoping to find out
any difficulties in conserving hair fibers (such as protecting
the artifacts from insects) and also how such artifacts are usually stored
after conservation.
I have contacted several museums in different parts of the world to see how
practices differ, and with your help can create a more complete picture of
current hair fiber conservation. Any information you can give me would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Rebecca M. Sager
