anoxic workshop in Richmond Virginia Oct 13

[Jerry Shiner <keepsafe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All

I'll be hosting a workshop on oxygen-free pest control and storage on 
Saturday October 13 from ten until noon. I'll also be in Washington on the 
12'th wandering about, and would be happy to talk to anyone then, or just 
leave samples for you. Workshop information follows:

Oxygen-free packaging is a proven technique for long-term storage of 
sensitive items (especially organic materials and metals). It is also used 
by conservators for the safe treatment of insect pests when freezing or 
poisons are not an option. The system is simple: the object to be treated 
is inserted into a barrier film envelope, the appropriate oxygen absorber 
is added, and the bag sealed. Within hours, the oxygen level within the 
envelope is reduced to an extremely low level. Degradation involving oxygen 
is halted or dramatically slowed, and insects, larvae, pupae and eggs are 
destroyed.

The workshop will take place at Corporate & Museum Frame, 310 West Broad 
Street, Richmond, VA. We encourage you to bring a small object to be 
encapsulated in an anoxic environment,. Samples will be distributed and a 
materials fee of $20 will apply to all attendees. Refreshments will be 
served from 9:30 am, the workshop begins at 10:00.
