The Stressed About Pests? Integrated Pest Management for Heritage Preservation Professionals workshop is taking place next week and there is still space available. The workshop includes two live sessions that take place online on Monday, May 3 and Wednesday, May 5, both at 3:00-5:00 p.m. EDT. The workshop is led by Rachael Perkins Arenstein and Patrick Kelley.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is now considered an essential component of a well-rounded preventive care policy to prevent insects and vertebrate pests from causing irreversible damage to cultural heritage collections. This workshop will introduce participants to multiple aspects of sound IPM policy and procedures. After covering ideas for reducing the likelihood of infestation, the focus of the workshop will be on identifying the most damaging museum pests and understanding treatment options for infested items. The workshop is designed for anyone needing an intro to the topic or wanting to refresh basic IPM knowledge. Co-taught by an entymologist/pest management professional and a conservator, this workshop is appropriate for a range of museum, library professionals including conservators, facility staff, collection managers, registrars, librarians and archivists at museums, libraries and archivists. The registration fee is $99.
