Phew guys!  You woke me up this morning.  Rather than trying to reply to
each response I'm going to do so through this general e-mail.

Angela, I would love to get a copy of the photo you have once you are back
in Alaska - thanks.

Ellen, I love the image library at Museumpests.net and use it often. And I
will get in touch with the Carrlees directly.

Emily, please do contact me directly regarding images.

Everyone else, thanks for the comments, ideas, etc.  As I have several
locations where the signs need to be posted, I think I will try using
several different images (collections trading cards anyone?  Collect the
series and win a set of sticky traps?). using several images may help to
keep the signs more obvious - a little difference catches folks attention.

Lucky for me, we do not yet have any new damage from pests (the facility in
question is almost brand new) and I'm trying to keep it that way.  The only
damage we have is old and inactive and I am trying to instigate a strict
quarantine policy for all incoming stuff.  The whole situation is made
harder by the fact that the facility is set in a rural, heavily wooded,
gorgeous but actively decaying Pacific Northwest landscape. Sigh.  If and
when we get damage I will certainly ask permission to share it.

OK, so I will go through the message again and collect any images that have
been sent to me.  Otherwise, if you have images I could use, please send
them to me directly at jclaired...@gmail.com so that I can easily gather
them up.

Thanks so much everyone,

Claire

Dear List,

The museumpests.net site is happy to post examples of damage in its "Image 
Library" within the Identification section. There are a few examples already on 
the site. If you have examples of damage that you would be willing to share and 
have documented what pest(s) have done the damage, there are 2 means to post it 
to the sight:


  1.  Go to the "About Us" tab and fill out the image submission form with your 
image: http://www.museumpests.net/aboutus.asp?defaultpanel=6
  2.  Send and email with your image, the pest responsible and the photo credit 
information for the image to 
p.kel...@insectslimited.com<mailto:p.kel...@insectslimited.com>

 Please consider sharing your examples of pests and pest damage with the museum 
pest community as a whole! The site was created with this type of support in 
mind.

Thanks,

Pat Kelley

Hi Claire!

Boy do I "get" this question!

I am not sure whether you have seen the ppt prepared by the Carrlees about 
Alaskan baskets, but I thought, pending their permission, the attached image 
might be helpful. Further, the insect diagrams available through the 
Museumpests.net website might be helpful just to identify the insects, but not 
the damage.

Best to you!

Ellen

Many thanks for the offer, but I really need to use an image of something that 
is culturally familiar to the folks these signs are aimed at - that is Pacific 
Northwest Native Americans.

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

Dear All:

I am in the process of making new bug awareness signs for a client to use in a 
tribal museum here in the Pacific Northwest.  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
