[Nhcoll-l] Mold Problem

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Makayla,

there are some good information on the museumpest website on cold temperature treatment in general here:
https://museumpests.net/solutions-low-temperature-treatment/

and a website that directs you to more detailed information on how to deal with mould outbreaks here:
https://cool.culturalheritage.org/bytopic/mold/

Hope this helps
Dirk

Hi all,

I recently discovered some of our Herbarium specimens have mold on them…We are currently without a botanist or herbarium curator so I am unsure of how to handle the situation.

We assumed freezing but any ideas on the best way to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
