This is an old MLA document (remember them?) – might be useful for you; British Library has a good document on pests available on their website as well.

Hi Sara

Have you looked at 'what's eating your collections', developed in the West Midlands, as a first port of call?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for information on setting up a pest checking action plan, mainly for costume and textile collections, but also for other social history collections such as dolls and toys. I would like to find out about best practice in sample checking, eg. detailed checking of every fifth costume box, or one item of costume from every other wardrobe etc.

 

Thank you!
