While this reflection may seem trivial, the IPM program has taught me so many important lessons about museum management. Though this process is often one that makes me queasy, it shows me that data collection is such an important part of keeping up a museum space. Museum managers constantly have to collect data about the conditions in which they house and display museum objects. Insects are just another data point, like temperature collected from loggers or light levels collected from light meters. Second, these data inform practices and protocol for future management. Whether it’s adjusting the usage of dehumidifiers in a given space or developing technology to prevent reptilian bycatch, museum managers are constantly integrating research and data into plans to solve challenges of preserving historical objects, far into the future. These skills–research and response–are some of the tenets of museum management, and seeing their application in an IPM program has been such a fascinating process to witness.
