Many of the best practices in this area are also relevant for your concerns (eg, excellent sealing, stable materials, ease of access, etc.) That said, as one who has seen what lurks in the plinths and light attics of many showcases, you will find it hard to police the final (and crucial) days of a gallery installation. js Jerry Shiner Keepsafe Microclimate Systems www.keepsafe.ca <http://www.keepsafe.ca/> i...@keepsafe.ca +1 800 683-4696 Providing a suite of services and environmental control solutions for museums and archives, including control of humidity, oxygen and temperature.
-----Original Message----- From: ad...@museumpests.net [mailto:ad...@museumpests.net] On Behalf Of Morris, Bernice Sent: May-28-13 2:06 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.Net Subject: [pestlist] IPM and exhibtion design This is a message from the Museumpests List. To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. ----------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, I'm interested in putting together some guidelines for our exhibition designers to encourage them to design cases and platforms with IPM in mind, i.e. casework which is easy to clean inside and underneath, can be easily moved for monitoring purposes or deep cleaning, and is constructed of materials pests do not like to eat. I'd like to give them more guidance than just 'easy to clean'-has anyone any advice or resources they can suggest to back up my general recommendations? I'm particularly interested in drawings of cases, and also examples of how other institutions have tackled this problem, especially in light of tight budgets and fast exhibition turnover.
