Textile protection prior to freezing
Button barriers - discs made of mylar are placed between the button and dress. This helps prevent any staining of the textile if rust develops over time on the metal shank of the button.
Will be frozen at -30c for 2 weeks for pest control prior to cataloguing and photography.
These are one of those wonderful little things that make such a great difference in the life of a collection manager, otherwise I'd be wrapping each button with tissue!
