I just added the photo to the group. We currently don't have anyone available to follow your tagging structure. I hope this won't get in the way of enjoying the photos.

usually they are, tho I'm not sure how the smithsonian does it. Other museums I've worked for preserve them in bottles filled with alcohol, napthol, or some older preservative (for historic collections)
