Hello, At the National Library of Scotland, we have a quarantine space which doubles up as a disaster store, it’s hardly ideal but I think allocating space in acquired properties can be tricky. I’ve found that it can sometimes be difficult to state your case for fit for purpose quarantine spaces, as space can often be an issue in museums/libraries/galleries, which always need room for the expansion of collections, and in some cases it really can be a matter of making the best of what you have. In regards to the freezers, if you’re not using them too often, or don’t need to freeze a large volume of material, Foster Refrigeration have some good offers on freezers which you might be interested in.

We are however planning to use our freezer on a daily basis, as we treat all incoming archival material as a routine measure against the grey silverfish (ctenolepisma longicaudata) that has now become common all over Norway. So – I also anticipating the flow of answers and recommendations! ☺ Best, Antonia Reime Aabø Rådgiver Preventiv konservering / IPM Tlf. 936 53 520 IKA Østfold – Regional Archives of South East Norway [Bittelienlogo] www.ika-ostfold.no Fra: 'Sampson, Amy' via Museumpests [mailto:pestlist@googlegroups.com] Sendt: 23. januar 2020 12:27 Til: pestlist@googlegroups.com<mailto:pestlist@googlegroups.com> Emne: [pestlist] Quarantine Hello Everyone, We are in the process of setting up a quarantine facility on site, and I would be grateful if people were willing to share their experiences of the same. What were the pitfalls? What would you have done differently? What is essential? I am also interested in purchasing a freezer – we are unlikely to use it on a regular basis though. Would anyone have a product or manufacturer that they would recommend. Thanks in anticipation, Amy.
