dear sara, we freeze a lot, but the artifacts are mostly archival objects, like paper, photos and so on.
We use this strategy because of the high risk of contamination with Ctenolepisma longicaudatum (gray silverfish). Will it help in any way if I take part in your survey? I don't think so - right? best regards V o l k e r H i n g s t Diplom-Restaurator Volker Hingst IPM-Koordinator --------------------------------------- LVR - Archivberatungs- und Fortbildungszentrum Technisches Zentrum / Papierrestaurierung Ehrenfriedstr.19 50259 Pulheim Tel.: 02234-9854-236 Fax: 0221-8284-2479 E-Mail: volker.hin...@lvr.de<mailto:volker.hin...@lvr.de> Internet: www.afz.lvr.de<http://www.afz.lvr.de/> Von: 'Ritchie, Fran E' via MuseumPests <pestlist@googlegroups.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 6.

Please participate if you can. Any direct questions can be sent to Sara who is cc’d and her email is provided below. Thanks, Fran Hello everyone, My name is Sara Thornburg, and I am a student in the Buffalo State Art Conservation Program, specializing in textile conservation. I'm conducting a survey as part of my thesis, which focuses on the use of freezing in contemporary art collections specifically to help control potential clothes moths infestations on textile containing artworks. The purpose of this survey is to collect data on how freezers are used specifically with regards to multi-media or contemporary objects and the potential for material damage. I am looking for those who have experience freezing multi-media or contemporary objects to provide valuable insights. The survey will take approximately 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Please be assured that all responses will remain anonymous and are for academic purposes only. Your participation would be incredibly helpful and would contribute significantly to my research. The findings will be included in my thesis and published upon completion. While the exact timeline is uncertain, I am happy to share the results with interested participants. Please feel free to reach out to me for a summary of the findings once available. You can access the survey here: <https://forms.gle/K7hmpGPt391MG2yb6> https://forms.gle/K7hmpGPt391MG2yb6. Thank you very much for your time and support. If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me at thornb...@buffalostate.edu<mailto:thornb...@buffalostate.edu>.
