The moth in pics 1 & 2 is a *Monopis *species, almost certainly *Monopis crocicapitella*, which is turning up frequently on pheromone traps in buildings in Britain, but occurs worldwide. To be certain of the identification requires a genitalia prep. Happy to do that for you if you can spare the specimen. Pics 3 & 4 show *Dorypteryx domestica*, as far as I can tell from the photos. This is a species of booklouse that appears to occur frequently in museums and art galleries, but I don't know of anywhere that it has been shown to do much damage. It is certainly less damaging than *Liposcelis*.
