Staff from the collections and conservation departments have
been beavering away at the Museum stores for the past two years on a re-storage
and cataloguing project for the arrows in the museum collections. The Museum
has a large number of arrows from all over the world which up until very
recently have been largely inaccessible to researchers. Conservation and
collection staff have organised arrows by geographical region and collector and
re-stored them in special custom made Correx trays in three sizes to
accommodate the smallest arrows to the largest. The project is now complete and
over 5000 arrows have been catalogued and boxed in a new arrows store.

New custom made correx boxes for arrow storage each holding
16 or 18 arrows supported in plastazote foam. These trays then fit into custom
made archival quality boxes with 4 trays to a box
