External email / courriel externe. Hello folks We are struggling to decide whether we can risk this object in our freezer as we would prefere to use Nitrogen but with the current legislation in the UK, we cannot. The chest is a composite of leather streatched over wood with metal clasps and is in a good condition We would prep it with several layers of acid free tissue and extra over the metal clasps Several bags of acid free tissue puffs will be put inside to take up the volume and we will double wrap it thick HDPE which will be heat sealed. Our freezer is computer controlled to get to -35 centigrade over 2-3 days, hold for 72 hours and then a controlled return to ambient so the whole cycle is a week. During this time, the object will not be touched until the freezer has returned to ambient , the entire cycle taking 7 days Any thoughts or experience with freezing something like this would be appreciated Many thanks Adie Doyle IPM Manager British Museum UK [cid:[email protected]] Mr Adrian (Adie) Doyle Integrated Pest Management Manager British Museum Property & Facilities Management Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG Mobile 07813 363292 Current work pattern Monday – WFH Tuesday – Blythe House Store Wednesday – WFH Thursday – Orsman Road Store Friday – Bloomsbury Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> The British Museum Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG britishmuseum.org<https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.britishmuseum.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7C7a9ff9c7e2464696ab3908d7629aa629%7Ca7f588e4c7964ce2b525daac11557e97%7C0%7C0%7C637086288666858073&sdata=FVkPCmec5C%2BmguWcS52ubg0CqaXxxfIrpeEoFIPj4Z0%3D&reserved=0> The security classification for this message is OFFICIAL Please see our privacy policy<https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.britishmuseum.org%2Fabout_this_site%2Fterms_of_use%2Fprivacy_policy.aspx&data=02%7C01%7C%7C7a9ff9c7e2464696ab3908d7629aa629%7Ca7f588e4c7964ce2b525daac11557e97%7C0%7C0%7C637086288666858073&sdata=yo3WGYN18NLhIEgWwe1fgs0yqoBQJQi3IcLhtPreutc%3D&reserved=0> for more details about how we use your personal data and about your rights or contact the Museum’s Data Protection Officer at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, telephone 020 323 8000 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
