PROTECTING CULTURAL COLLECTIONS
FROM PESTS AND MOLD
The California Preservation Program presents two workshops on protecting
cultural collections from pests and mold. Co-sponsored with the Los
Angeles Preservation Network (LAPNet), Berkeley Public Library and
Califa, the workshops are supported by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services &
Technology Act, administered by the California State Library.
Controlling Pests: Where Eating Is Not Permitted
Monday, October 18, 2004 - William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, Los
Angeles Thursday, October 21, 2004 - Berkeley Public Library, Berkeley
This workshop is designed as an introduction to integrated pest
management (IPM) for cultural institutions. The IPM approach to
preventing and managing pest infestation relies on regular monitoring,
documentation, and primarily non-chemical prevention. The workshop will
include information on developing an IPM program and a review of pests
most often found in cultural collections.
Be Prepared ... Managing a Mold Invasion
Tuesday, October 19, 2004 - William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, Los
Angeles Friday, October 22, 2004 - Berkeley Public Library, Berkeley
This workshop provides an understanding of how and why mold blooms occur
and gives strategies for prevention. The immediate responses to
inactivate an outbreak will be reviewed in addition to follow-up
procedures to prevent future outbreaks. The safety and health hazards
will also be underscored.
Registration at 9:30 a.m. Program is 10:00 - 4:00 p.m. Attendance at
both workshops is strongly recommended but not required.
