[BCMA] wooden culvert

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The Canadian Conservation Institute has a really good guide for the conservation of outdoor objects (if you plan on keeping it outdoors). I would check that out.

Subject: [BCMA] wooden culvert

The Vanderhoof Forest Service donated this wooden culvert to the Vanderhoof Museum. It is in mint condition.
We are looking for information about this type of wooden culvert ?
It is the only known one in this area. It has been buried for at least 80 years+. Maybe even over 100 years as the road was built in 1914-1917.
How do we preserve it?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
