Can you provide the names of American nationals (other than NARA's
head of preservation) who are professionals in library and archive
preservation with tropical expertise?

Hello sjyor:

Thanks for the interesting question!

After exhaustive searching I was able to find five American nationals
with expertise in this area. I list them below (in descending order of
expertise, by my call) with contact information and any links I could
find to pages demonstrating their expertise in the area.
