Mount-making for museum objects / by Robert Barclay, André Bergeron, and Carole Dignard, with illustrations by Carl Schlichting.CH4-35/2002E-PDF

"This manual addresses the use and construction of display mounts, and is intended for museum workers (e.g. technicians/preparators/exhibit specialists, designers, collection managers/conservators) who have as yet a limited to moderate experience in mount-making. It includes discussions of why mounts are necessary, the materials for their fabrication as well as those that are not recommended for museum use, and how to design them, but the majority of the pages are devoted to fabrication techniques and practical examples. Although neither exhaustive nor definitive, these examples should help readers to broaden their 'creative toolbox' when faced with a new mount-making problem"--Introduction and Objectives, page 1.
