<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">One thing to remember about acrylic and Plexiglas is that over time, they develop a negative surface static charge and attract every particle of dust and lint in
existence. On the greenhouse scale, this means washing the inside and outside of the greenhouse, because eventually the amount of light getting in is decreased. On the herbarium scale, it means that glass-gluing with a Plexiglas plate can start to not work
because the charged plate makes the glue bead up to the point where it won’t spread out unless you add a surfactant into the scenario.

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a great discussion. In my previous life as an art framer (supporting myself through undergrad school), we saw all the time how light, and specifically sunlight, can be so damaging and cause fading to art pieces. It is really a
myth that basic glass blocks out UV rays - this is only true if you have high quality museum glass (i.e. which is REALLY expensive) but then again, I’ve never even seen this tested.

<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting side note: The issue of UV came back to haunt me last month because we are in the middle of renovating our university greenhouse and our plants will be sharing the space with some new butterfly and spider research. I discovered
that researchers in this case do want the UV light exposure because butterflies need it to trigger reproduction and possibly navigation perception. Normal glass will work in this case, but not polycarbonate greenhouse glazing (in fact, plastic in general
tends to block out UV). So maybe if they made the display windows at FLMNH out of large plexiglass…..<o:p></o:p></p>

(i.e. greenhouse effect) may have played a larger role in the fading of the examples you shared. I ask this since I’ve seen similar results when specimens spend too much time in a drying oven (with no light). You note ‘little or no climate control’.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

or high quality photographs. In fact, I think the public would be just as pleased with the photos of the specimens as they are with the real thing.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">“The experience of the ROM Green Plant Herbarium is similar to that of others who have replied to this enquiry: herbarium specimens placed on display
fade. In our experience, rotating the contents of display cases is usually impractical, and doing so would take away time from more pressing activities. Where they can be mounted a few feet away from a museum visitor, color scans of specimens are almost indistinguishable
from the real thing.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
My colleague, Deb Metsger, describes how she and her co-workers dealt with this issue in part of a report she made on the ROM's " Life in Crisis: The Schad Gallery of Biodiversity" that opened in 2009. This report was published in the Bulletin of the Canadian
Botanical Association, and is available online at<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cba-2Dabc.ca_Bulletin-5F43-5F3.pdf&d=CwMGaQ&c=ODFT-G5SujMiGrKuoJJjVg&r=qOkudF9__SlHcjZiL3VQCQetu0-SqMRJ5RIPqH8VFv8&m=Fvrx2boWJwqneMSkwTLx0FaNjEHx2vCk8Avede_fLFk&s=2GtDu3HGar4j5Upeq_PKrPf_HBJhT1F4b8_Iq2MkNCs&e="><span style="color:purple">http://www.cba-abc.ca/Bulletin_43_3.pdf</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(p.
12 of the .pdf file, page 60 of the Bulletin). The report describes how the gallery team used scans of herbarium specimens, real plants, and models to convey the diversity of plants to museum visitors, not as backdrops to animal displays, but rather as vital
components of diverse ecosystems. It may be of interest to others confronted with similar challenges<br>
