MARITIME HERITAGE SERIES: Conservation Basics: Identifying and Dealing with Museum Pests
May 9 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free
Many museum artifacts provide tasty treats for a variety of insects, animals, and fungi. A big part of museum conservation is preventing damage to our artifacts, which means knowing what’s eating your collection! Join museum conservator Michelle Crepeau in this lecture all about identifying common museum pests, their impact on collections, and both historical and modern methods of mitigation and prevention.
The program is part of our Maritime Heritage Series, informal lectures held in the museum auditorium and focused on North Carolina’s rich maritime history, coastal environment, and culture. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
