> Hello,
>
> I'm wondering how other institutions are storing broken or cracked glass
> transcription discs, a.k.a instantaneous discs, lacquer discs, etc.
> What kinds of housings are other archives using for these fragile and
> fragmented objects?
> Is the same housing used for broken or cracked shellacs?
> Are these stored flat?
>
> Any contribution towards a discussion of best practice with these discs is
> appreciated.
> Thank you,
> Lauren
