A two-day conference organised jointly by English Heritage and the
Science Museum will be held in central London in October 2001 on the

be considered. The four main sessions of the conference will be:

Day 1

    *   Integrated approaches to the management of risks from insect
        pests
    *   New developments in the control of insect pests

Day 2

    *   Case studies in integrated pest management in collections
        and historic houses
    *   Case studies in control treatments

All those interested in presenting a paper at this meeting are
