**Register Now! Integrated Pest Management for Cultural Institutions**
Integrated Pest Management Plans are an integral, and oftentimes
overlooked, core collection policy. The Association of Registrars and
Collections Specialists (ARCS) and the Conservation Center for Art &
Historic Artifacts (CCAHA) are pleased to offer a day and a half workshop
of presentations and practical exercises, where speakers will discuss the
elements of an integrated pest management plan, present tools for
identifying common pests and the best monitoring strategies, introduce
types of treatments appropriate for collections objects, and summarize
common hazards staff may come in contact with when dealing with pests in
their collection.
