Integrated pest management workshop
14-17 March 2011
Course leader:  David Pinniger

    This workshop will give guidance on how to deal with insect pest
    problems likely to be encountered in museums, collections,
    archives and historic houses.  It will focus upon insects and
    the damage they cause, together with new information on the
    detection, monitoring and trapping of pests. The emphasis is on
    pest-prevention as the key to successful IPM, but will also
    evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of physical and
    chemical control measures.

    Visiting tutors are: Bob Child of Historyonics and Jane
    Thompson-Webb, Head of Collection Services at Birmingham Museum
    and Art Gallery.

    Fully inclusive residential fee:  From UKP492

Conservation for horologists
16-19 May 2011
Course leader:  Trevor Waddington  Principal tutor:  Elliott Nixon

    It is only in recent years that horological training has
    included an element of conservation.  Many experienced
    horologists, therefore, although knowledgeable and competent in
    repair and restoration, lack an understanding of the
    conservation approach to horology.  Approved by the Institute of
    Conservation (Icon), this course is unique; being specially
    designed to bridge that knowledge gap and, in particular,
    prepare participants for PACR accreditation.

    Visiting tutors are: David Thompson FBHI, senior horological
    curator at the British Museum, Dr Michael Flannery MBHI, a
    recently-qualified ACR, and Susan Bradshaw ACR, Icon
    accreditation manager.

    Fully inclusive residential fee:  From UKP492
