Apologies first for duplication, and second for bringing up a painful
subject.

In my work, I do some consulting for groups wanting to set up archives.
In that capacity, I encourage them to think about the big picture, which
must [IMHO] include disaster planning.

I have been invited on occasion to give a talk or a workshop to help
members of the group understand what is required, how to do the
planning, etc.

What I could really use is some visuals.  Would anyone be willing to
share photos that demonstrate what a wet/mouldy/sooty/whatever archives
looks like?  [I can give credit or hide identities to protect the
innocent]  I'm also looking for photos illustrating the stages of
cleanup.

Please respond off-list, or if you prefer to talk to me in person I'll
be at the ACA/AAO conference on Saturday.

Many thanks in advance,

Wendy
