Note: This bibliography tries to be comprehensive but cannot include everything. It is updated as I am aware of new and/or related articles published in conservation literature.

IMPORTANT:  See (forthcoming) 2019 BPG and PMG presentations from LC and NARA staff about new testing results and discontinued use of Avanse+Plextol dispersions in heat-set tissue.
