Subject: [Consdistlist] Pest Treatments
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hello,
I am seeking advice on pest treatments in collection storage spaces. Presently,
we engage an external contractor to undertake band spraying of internal
collection spaces. Do other institutions do this or do people band spray the
outside perimeter of buildings instead? If so, why? Additionally, when
undertaking pest monitoring, do people place pheromones in traps or simply use
sticky traps without pheromones? As the pheromones lure the pests into the
traps, do they possibly paint an unrealistic picture of pests in the area? When
should pheromones be used? And if they are used, in what quantity and how far
apart?
Any advice on these topics would be very much appreciated.
Eliza

" --- Publishing in Conservation 1-day Workshop
Date: Tuesday 08th November 2016, 10am - 4.30pm
Venue: The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Cost: ?80
This one-day course will provide an introduction to publishing in
conservation, and it is aimed at conservators who would like to know
more about writing up their work for publication. The course will cover
the process of getting your ideas into print, from choosing a good
subject to finding the right outlet, and from submission to publication.
The focus of the course is primarily practical and will include tips on
structuring an article, peer review, preparing images for publication,
referencing ... and how not to annoy an editor! Throughout the day there
will be short practical writing exercises, so it would be helpful if
attendees could bring examples of works-in-progress or be prepared to
talk about an idea that they have for publication.
Masterclass Leader:
Christina Rozeik

Please post the following notification:
ICOM-CC Education and Training in Conservation Working Group
and
National Research Laboratory for Conservation, Lucknow, India
Working Group Interim Meeting
5th & 6th December 2016
at NRLC, Lucknow
International Council of Museums Committee for Conservation (ICOM-CC) is the
largest of the International Committees of ICOM and aims to promote the
conservation of culturally and historically significant works and to further
the goals of the conservation profession. The Working Group Education and
Training in Conservation is part of the 21 Working Groups in ICOM-CC and aims
to represent those interested in and/or involved in education and training in
conservation throughout the world.
The National Research Laboratory for Conservation (NRLC) is a governmental
institution comprising a team of professionally trained conservation scientists
and conservators. NRLC aims to develop conservation of cultural property in
India and has outreach beyond the Indian borders. To achieve this end, NRLC
carries out research in materials and methods of conservation and diagnostic
investigations, imparts training in preventive and curative conservation,
disseminates knowledge in conservation and related areas through library and
information services, provide technical assistance in the development of
conservation facilities.
Conservation, Education and Training in India: preparing a road map for the
future
This two-day ICOM-CC Education and Training Working Group Interim Meeting will
gather relevant interested parties in the education and training of
conservators in Indian museums and collections. The meeting will provide a
platform for the main stakeholders, both national and foreign, involved in
training conservators in India to meet and discuss the current situation with
Indian museum directors, curators and conservators. The two day event will
consist of keynote speakers and a discussion panel on the first day. The second
day will consist of an expert meeting to discuss future steps in the training
of conservators in India.
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
Those wishing to participate with a presentation should email [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> by 1st October 2016.
The meeting will be hosted at NRLC?s training centre in Lucknow on the 5th and
6th December, 2016. Pre-registration is obligatory and numbers will be limited
to 75 participants.
India is a country with a rich and diverse culture and a population of c.1.2
billion. Collections in which cultural heritage objects are housed reflect this
and are vast. Graduate numbers in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage are
currently inadequate to deal with the care of such an enormity of material.
Conservation departments in museums are small and job vacancies are often not
filled. The need for more graduates is great and emphasis should be on setting
up additional conservation based degrees at other institutions. Teachers with
the capacity to instruct on conservation related courses are lacking and need
to be available before new courses can be set up. Teaching teachers to give
them the skills to disseminate conservation training is paramount. Highlighting
this aspect will be one of the key topics to be discussed at the December 2016
ICOM-CC interim meeting.
The future road map entails training management, curators, conservators and
technicians at different levels to reflect the current situation in India.
Academically trained conservators with a balanced knowledge and understanding
of sciences and humanities as well as conservation principles will become the
decision makers and conservation leaders. They will work in tandem with
managers and curators to establish best practice and policies for museum
objects. They will supervise technicians and other interested parties to carry
out supervised appropriate work. Training future generations requires standards
and guidelines to be established and put into play. The future road map will be
inclusive of all relevant interested parties but should be managed by a central
body. This meeting will establish a guide and plan for this map.

Old Royal Naval College, working with Paine & Stewart Ltd.
Reference: IIP1607
Stipend: ?17,108
Closing Date: 7 November 2016 at midday GMT
Background to the Old Royal Naval College and the Painted Hall
The Old Royal Naval College (ORNC) is the centrepiece of the Maritime Greenwich
World Heritage Site. The classical buildings that collectively form the ORNC
were designed by some of England's most renowned architects and are considered
to be amongst the finest in Europe. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Located
within the grounds are the public areas of the Painted Hall, Chapel, Visitor
Centre and the Tourist Information Centre (operated by the Royal Borough of
Greenwich). We welcome approximately 1.7million visitors every year.
Over the next two years ORNC is embarking on an exciting plan to clean and
conserve over 40,000 square feet of the magnificent Grade I listed Painted Hall
18th century paintings and gilded decorations. The Painted Hall is recognised
as the greatest piece of decorative painting in England and this will be one of
the most ambitious conservation projects of a painted historic interior ever
undertaken. The intern will be working with the Paine & Stewart Ltd, an
accredited member of ICON.
The Old Royal Naval College site as a whole has a fascinating and complex
history closely bound up with key national historic events and stories
including the Glorious Revolution, naval supremacy and patriotism, the
expansion of Empire, trade and global connections. Within the site, both
artistically and historically, the Painted Hall is one of the country's most
important painted interiors, comparable in scale to that of the main hall in
the Banqueting House, which was painted by Rubens in 1636. Spot applications of
gold leaf to emphasise elements of interior architectural features were a
typical Baroque decorative treatment, aimed at achieving pattern effects and
highlighting forms where light levels would have been naturally low.
The internship opportunity
This internship offers invaluable experience of working in a major institution,
learning about the conservation of a major wall painting within the context of
a building open to the public and the opportunity to contribute to the daily
work of the Conservation team. The intern will also have the opportunity to
learn about public engagement with conservation as the work will be carried out
on a scaffold which will be open to the public. Over twelve months, the Intern
will have the opportunity - under appropriate supervision - to carry out
examination, documentation and treatment of sections of the gilding as well as
engaging with the public and learning groups. This is a unique opportunity for
a passionate and motivated individual.
What we need
Applicants should have recently obtained a recognised qualification in
decorative conservation. The placement requires good problem-solving skills and
the basic ability to carry out conservation and restoration treatments of
gilding.
The successful applicant will need to demonstrate good learning skills with a
strong motivation to develop a career in gilding conservation along with the
ability to work effectively both alone and as part of a team.
You need to have recently obtained a qualification in decorative conservation
to apply for this internship.
Please apply using the application form available at

Subject: [Consdistlist] A Death
Message-ID:
<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
It is with great sadness that we report on the untimely death of Worcester Art
Museum Conservator and Scientist Dr. Philip A. Klausmeyer. Philip was a
cherished family member, esteemed colleague, and friend. He passed away on
Thursday, August 25, 2016 at the age of 53, surrounded by his loving family,
after a 14 month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Philip worked at the Worcester Art Museum as both a paintings conservator and
scientist while also serving as Associate Editor for Studies in Conservation,
the international peer-reviewed journal for the conservation of historic and
artistic works. Philip also held a research appointment at WPI (Worcester
Polytechnic Institute) where he brought museum conservators together with
university scientists and students to explore the application of innovative
technologies to conservation research. At WPI, Philip was exposed to cutting
edge technologies, and it was here that he discovered the potential for laser
shearography to assess the impact of environmental conditions on artworks.
In 1998, Philip received an M.S. in painting conservation from the Winterthur/
University of Delaware Program in Conservation. He completed two summer
internships at the Museum of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and
fulfilled his third year internship requirement at the Worcester Art Museum
(WAM). Over the next five years, he honed his conservation skills while
holding several advanced fellowships at WAM, including two Samuel H. Kress
awards. During this period, he also worked part time for two years as an
assistant conservator at the Harvard University Art Museums, where he made
significant contributions to the conservation treatment of John Singer
Sargent's Triumph of Religion murals at the Boston Public Library.
In 2003, with the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation under the
leadership of Angelica Rudenstine, Philip was charged with establishing a
technical research capability at WAM while simultaneously pursuing an
individually-designed PhD in conservation science. Inspired by the research of
University of Delaware Professor Richard Wolbers, Philip's dissertation focused
on the use of immunosorbent assays in the detection of proteinaceous binding
media found in art materials. His chief advisors were Mark Turnbull of Clark
University, and Madelyn Schmidt of the University of Massachusetts Medical
School. Philip was awarded the PhD in 2009 from Clark University and today, the
Worcester Art Museum has a well-equipped conservation department with a robust
capacity for technical study.
In 2009, at the 37th Annual Meeting of the AIC in Los Angeles, in collaboration
with Cultural Heritage Imaging, Philip introduced conservators to a
newly-designed examination and documentation tool employing RTI (Reflectance
Transformation Imaging). Far surpassing the quality of traditional raking light
photography, RTI has now been widely embraced by conservators as the preferred
method for documenting the surface topography of art objects.
At the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2014, Philip delivered his last
professional paper, available on Youtube, which discussed mapping and
quantifying induced strain in canvas paintings using laser shearography. This
collaborative research with WPI has generated considerable interest among
colleagues who are continuing to pursue laser shearography as a means for
assessing the impact of environmental conditions on works of art.
Philip was innovative and kind with a brilliant mind and a deep love and
admiration of those who surrounded him. He was a generous collaborator, a
gifted practitioner, and a caring and compassionate mentor who inspired many
with his positive spirit and his commitment to their success. Philip lives on
in our hearts and minds. He leaves behind him a professional legacy many of us
can only dream of, and a loving family who cherish his memory.
Many of you may not know that Philip was also a prolific artist, spending his
August vacations in Truro, Massachusetts painting landscapes of the coastal
dunes. A recipient of an Outer Cape Artists in Residency Consortium award, he
was also a member of the Peaked Hill Bars Historic District Trust, a non-profit
dedicated to the preservation and management of dune shacks on the Cape Cod
National Seashore. A fall 2017 exhibition of his art work is planned at the
Sprinkler Factory Gallery, a non-profit art space located in Worcester.
Philip was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan and raised largely in upstate New York,
although his family ultimately settled in Massachusetts, where Philip received
a B.A. in Art History and a B.A. in Studio Art from the University of
Massachusetts Amherst. There also he met his wife of nearly 30 years, Amy J.
(Constant) Klausmeyer. Philip and Amy raised their own young family in Holden,
Massachusetts, in a house they lovingly restored and surrounded with flower and
vegetable gardens.
Philip is survived by his wife Amy; his two sons, Ethan J. Klausmeyer of Holden
and Noah L. Klausmeyer of Boston; his parents, David and Suzanne (Hofmann)
Klausmeyer of Lenox, Massachusetts; three brothers, David Klausmeyer of Lenox,
Edward Klausmeyer of New Marlborough, Massachusetts and Stephen Klausmeyer of
Becket, Massachusetts; a sister, Joanna Carothers of Marquette, Michigan; and
many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
In honor of Philip, his forward thinking, and his dedication to the connection
between conservation practice and science, the Winterthur/ University of
Delaware Program in Art Conservation has established a continuing competitive
research grant of $1000 to be awarded in support of a student's scientific
research or attendance at a scientific conference. Donations in Philip's memory
may also be made to the Art Conservation Department of the Worcester Art Museum.
An event to celebrate Philip's life is being planned for spring 2017 at the
Worcester Art Museum. Details are forthcoming.

Hi
Can anyone recommend a good IR camera. I'd like to talk to a company to try one
and possibly purchase one.
I'm curious about costs. Last time I had a chance to use one the quality was
great, they were rather expensive and I know the costs have dropped.
Thanks

5 days Masterclass - Adhesive, Coating and Consolidants
(Places are limited)
Tate Britain, London, UK
28th November? 2nd December 2016
Course Tutor: C. Velson Horie
Fee: ?650 (UK Sterling)
Conservators use materials on their objects all the time. Why do you use
the materials you use? What criteria do you use in making those choices? Is
the choice based on evidence, familiarity, or custom and practice? This
Masterclass examines the existing evidence, develops practical experience
with materials; properties, and tests custom and practice. The course is
evenly split between practical sessions working with materials and the
theoretical background needed to understand their properties. The role and
merits of both high technology studies and investigations in a
conservation studio
are investigated. Participants can bring and share their individual
problems as object lessons to be examined by the group, always a productive
process.
