Hello,
The collections manager at my museum thought that when we have our furnace
replaced early next year that it might be a good time to let the building
freeze to try and kill any pests that are in the collections.  I think it
is not now going to happen, but some responses she got from a posting on a
different listserv said that it wouldn't hurt the collections to have them
be frozen.  This is completely wrong for some types of collections, of
course.  Are there any resources that anyone can suggest that show how
tempreature changes alone and tempreature in cunjunction with its
relationship with relative humidity can damage collections?

Thank you.

Beau
