Preservation website

It's under construction so is missing some vital stuff (like leather) but it's got other basic good tips for other items.

This one has great information too, as you might imagine because it's a Smithsonian site:

This site was discussing antique leather and had some kewl info:

http://www.usmilitaryknives.com/leather_care.htm

"I only use Pecards Antique Leather Dressing. It is petroleum based so will not turn rancid as most animal fat products will. The experts above say to stay away from any dressings, long term they know better then I do. All I can share is my own experience, Pecards is the ONLY product I will use and it is only in a worst case scenario where the item would be lost anyway without the help."
