Description
Coordinators: Clare Valentine
Speaker: Adrian Doyle, Conservator, Palaeontology Conservation Unit and Clare Valentine, Head of Collections, Zoology Department
Overview: Pests are widely recognised as one of the major risks to museum collections, yet many of the chemical methods which have been successfully used in the past to control them are now known to be hazards in their own right and can no longer be used. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) looks instead at the whole organisation of a museum, its staff, geography building fabric, and how appropriate training and planning can reduce the pest risk.
