Dear Meghan, A few years ago, I created a short guide to protecting collections against pests (see attachment). It was actually only intended as a handout for employees at our institution, but it has since been circulated to some museums and research collections in Germany.

The Prevention section of the MuseumPests website ( https://museumpests.net/prevention-introduction/) , which the group edits and keeps up to date, includes approaches and resources for how to prevent pest infestations at cultural heritage institutions. In preparation for the MuseumPests Working Group's upcoming annual meeting, we are reaching out to request submissions of examples from your institutions of: ● IPM policies and procedures ● Food and drink policies ● Housekeeping policies and procedures ● How you create buy-in for IPM at your institution (signage, videos, etc.) There are currently great examples of these types of documents on the website now, but we would like to add additional newer examples as well. We are open to any documentation related to the hows and whys of your IPM program that you would be willing to share and have publicly available on the MuseumPests website. Please send any documentation to [email protected] by Wednesday, March 18. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.
