A dorsal view would help confirm the genus, but specific identification will be difficult from a photo. They are one of the mould beetles, and are likely to be associated with the lunch room, rather than the archives, unless your storage conditions are rather damp? ;o) Tony Irwin

I'm not sure what they are. They remind me of powder post beetles but being an archives that doesn't make a lot sense to me. This trap was located in our lunch room under the sink. Any help that can be offered is greatly appreciated.
