C2CC Beyond “No Food or Drink in the Gallery”: Food Management Strategies for the Real World
Channel: AIC & FAIC
Date: 2016-11-14

Recorded: Thursday, November 3, 2016

Food in museums may seem at odds with collections care. How do you balance revenue-generating food service and events with protecting collections from increased risks of pest infestation and damage? How do staff meals and snacks affect collections care? What do you do if you have food items in your collection?

Join members of the Conservation Committee from the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections for a discussion of best practices for food management in museums and collections holding institutions. You can find a way to have cake and eat it (or catalog and store it), too!
