Libraries and Archives discusses how infestations occur, helps identify
risks, provides feasible mitigation strategies, discusses the different
techniques of treating infested materials, and helps you complete an IPM
plan and monitoring schedule for your institution. The course covers pest
identification, insects, rodent, birds, bats, other mammals and mold
infestations, as well as other problems raised by participants.

The Instructor:
Objects conservator Gretchen Anderson learned her craft at the American
Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian's Conservation Analytical
Lab, the Canadian Conservation Institute, Getty Conservation Lab, the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Minnesota Historical Society.
She established the conservation department at the Science Museum of
Minnesota in 1989. She is the co-author of A Holistic Approach to Museum
Pest Management, a technical leaflet for the American Association for
State and Local History and established a rigorous IPM program for the
Science Museum. She was a key member in the planning team that designed
and built a new facility for the Science Museum of Minnesota. This
endeavor resulted in not only a state of the art exhibition and storage
facility, but also a major publication about the experience of building
a new museum and creating the correct environments: Moving the Mountain.
In 2009 she accepted the position of conservator and head of the
conservation section at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in
Pittsburgh. Ms. Anderson is a member of the American Institute for
Conservation and the Society for the Preservation of Natural History
Collections. She lectures and presents workshops on preventive
conservation, IPM, cleaning in museums, and practical methods and
materials for storage of collections.
