[Genealib] Display cases

[Laura Carter]

You will probably want to use glass fiber optic lighting which produces 
no UV and no heat.  Although used in Europe for at least 3 decades this 
energy efficient lighting had been slow to catch on here. I learned all 
this while researching info for our "hopefully before I retire new 
addition".  At one time, I found a catalog for a company that 
specialized in museum installations, but it vanished off my shelf.
If I come across the information, will send to you.
