  • 1.  Museum Supplies

    Posted 12-13-2019 09:47 AM
    Hi - I'm wondering if anyone can help me with locating a qualified vendor(s) for museum quality supplies. I am looking for the following items, just to name a few. Any guidance is appreciated:

    • Storage boxes (i.e. papers; small artifacts)
    • Magazine/book/shirt covers
    • Display cases (ones specifically that allow for patrons to open and look at exhibits in hand, or ones that have keys)
    • Deep display cases
    • Podiums
    • Donation boxes
    You can also e-mail me at matthew@worldaidsmuseum.org or call me at 954-390-0550, ext. 1

    Thanks

    Matthew,
    There are several supply houses we use for collections storage and exhibition needs. Gaylord is a favorite. Metaledge/ Hollinger for storage boxes,  https://www.hollingermetaledge.com/  Tyvek from https://masterpak-usa.com/products/softwrap-r-tyvekr-by-dupont
    RE display cases, I've had better luck with using local cabinet makers to custom build those.

    Also look at Hollinger Metal Edge for storage and conservation supplies. Their prices are very competitive and their service is very good.
    Brodart, which is a library supply company (they took over Gaylord's library supplies business) may have products that could be useful for you.
