Prepping an acquisition
Objects (if able) go through a cycle of freezing at -30c for specified time for pest control procedures before being catalogued and placed in permanent storage. If they can't be frozen due to specific materials being unsuitable for the process, these are then visually checked, bagged and checked closely for any sign of pests.
Care is taken to ensure metal is buffered to prevent contact with textiles where possible and that barriers and tissue is placed where necessary to prevent damage if colours run. Also that folded textiles are padded out to prevent sharp creasing.
