One of my biggest challenges when working with Native communities, and especially those for whom the whole museum world is a new experience, is making museum and collections rules relevant to their day-to-day cultural environment. A photo of a Northwest coast object being chewed by bugs underlined with a few carefully chosen words will have far more impact than the typical "DO NOT EAT AND DRINK IN THE MUSEUM" or "NO FOOD AND DRINK" signs have. Thanks again - if I ever need to make signs for an African collection I will let you know, Claire On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 1:06 PM, Bronwyn Eves <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: This is a message from the Museumpests List.

Please contact me at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> if you are interested.

I have found that very official/authoritarian signage does not go down well here (not that it does anywhere) and that visual hints have far more impact than words. My new signage has been inspired by a format I saw in use at the Pitt Rivers Museum last year which I thought was particularly good (please see bad mobile phone captured photograph below). I am in need of a photograph of insect damage to an object or material that I can use in my version, in particular something recognizable to folks in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe some basketry? I do not have such an image and I'm hoping that you folks might be able to help out. I will need a photo that I can reproduce and display in public and non-public areas (photo credit will of course be included). Any help would be most gratefully accepted. Thanks, Claire J.
