Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Food policies in museum offices
Good Afternoon everyone,
The museum where I work is wanting to update its Food Policy and the reasons given to the staff to illustrate the issues that may occur when food is not contained. Here are some thoughts we already had.
Food Policies in Museum Offices
Rodent and insect concerns: What policies do you have in place for your office, meeting rooms and lunch areas regarding where food and drink are allowed or prohibited?
We are re-assessing our policies and would like to present to staff the current museum practices.
If anyone has specific policies please send them.
Thank you
Leslie A. Vollnogle

Mellon Fellow in the Conservation of Paintings
The Balboa Art Conservation Center (BACC), an active regional conservation center located in San Diego, CA, is offering a one-year post graduate Mellon Fellowship in the conservation of paintings. Fellows will work with a wide variety of collection types performing conservation services in examination, treatment, analysis, and on-site surveys. BACC’s Painting Conservation department is currently staffed by a Chief Conservator and two Assistant Conservators with part-time support of a conservation technician.
BACC is an active, nonprofit, regional conservation center located in the heart of the beautiful and historic Balboa Park. The Park is home to a campus of cultural institutions such as the San Diego Museum of Art, Timken Museum of Art, and San Diego History Center. Since its founding in 1975, BACC has been devoted to the preservation of material culture held in both public and private collections. The Center’s services cover a wide spectrum including the formulation and implementation of treatments for paintings, frames, and paper artifacts, technical examinations using microscopy, infrared reflectography, and x-radiography, preventive conservation assistance, and environmental, general, and collection specific surveys.
Types of artifacts treated by BACC reflect the broad range of collections served and are of all periods and constructed with a broad array of materials. As the Center offers internships and fellowships on a regular basis, the working environment emphasizes an atmosphere of learning, collegiality, and cooperation.
Position requirements include a Master’s Degree from an accredited conservation program or its equivalent in the conservation of paintings, excellent writing ability, and good communication and interpersonal skills. Applicants should be recent graduates of recognized conservation training programs.
The stipend is based upon a salary of $33,000 plus benefits, with four weeks of research leave, and a $1,500 travel allowance in support of approved study projects. The fellowship is scheduled to begin in September 2018. Interested applicants should apply in writing with a resume, three letters of recommendation, and three examples of treatment experience.
Please submit applications by March 15th to:

About the Preservation Needs Assessment Program
Completing a Preservation Needs Assessment is a key first step in the process of caring for collections and is essential when seeking funding for preservation and conservation initiatives.
The preservation needs assessment process encompasses a general evaluation of the institution's preservation needs for their collections and includes: environment (temperature, relative humidity, pollution, and light), housekeeping, pest control, fire protection, security, and disaster preparedness; collection storage, handling, exhibition, and treatment; and preservation planning. The site visit consists of a review of the site conducted by a CCAHA preservation expert, an examination of the collections, and interviews with relevant staff. The written report provides observations, recommendations, and resources to serve as a guide in the development of a comprehensive preservation plan for the collections.
Eligibility: Institutions with paper-based humanities collections that are available to the public on a regularly scheduled basis and that have national or regional significance are encouraged to apply. Additional eligibility requirements are on CCAHA’s web site at: http://www.ccaha.org/fundraising/grant-calendar/2018/03/16/ccaha-s-preservation-needs-assessment-program-5
About the Risk Assessment Program
One of the most important steps a cultural institution can take to safeguard its collections is to be prepared in the event of an emergency or disaster. An Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan is an integral part of a comprehensive Preservation Program. The preparation and continued updating of a plan has several benefits including identification of areas of risk and hazards, establishment of procedures and systems to mitigate potential risks, determination of collections priorities, and development of procedures for quick response to limit damage to collections.
Participating institutions will receive a written risk assessment report and will work with a CCAHA preservation expert to develop a full emergency preparedness and response plan for their collections. The plan will include information on essential contacts, emergency response and recovery vendors, emergency communication, insurance, salvage priorities for the collections, and salvage procedures relevant to the types of materials in the institution’s collections.
Eligibility: Small to mid-sized institutions with humanities-based collections of regional or national significance are eligible and encouraged to apply. Additional eligibility requirements are on CCAHA’s web site at:
http://www.ccaha.org/fundraising/grant-calendar/2018/03/16/ccaha-s-risk-assessment-and-emergency-preparedness-program-2
All applications must be postmarked by Friday, March 16, 2018.
Established in 1977, CCAHA is one of the largest nonprofit conservation facilities in the country. CCAHA serves other non-profit cultural, educational, and research institutions and specializes in the treatment of art and historic artifacts on paper and provides preservation education, training, and consultation.
