Welcome to 2020 – and still in a (slightly) festive mindframe our first blog of the year will celebrate a further donation of books from a great supporter of the Library, David Pinniger.
A major contributer to the field of Integrated Pest Management, the Library already has a number of David Pinniger’s books, as well as a his very substantial collection of offprints on the subject. Most of these are listed on his bibliographic Database of IPM references. So if you are interested in any of the titles listed there and cannot find them please ask!
The database can be found on the What’s eating your collection website. The site also has a tool to help identity the insects found in the blunder traps readers hopefully have dotted around their library, archive, or museum.
David Pinniger’s latest donation includes a volume by him:
- Integrated pest management in cultural heritage at shelfmark CcP/Pin 5 (currently on our New Book Display)
It also includes preprints from the 23rd International Symposium on the Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Property from Tokyo 1999 about IPM in Asia “Meeting the Montreal protocol”, as well as a report from 2002 on the international course on conserving Japanese paper.
Another new titles is:
There are also titles in French on safeguarding heritage collections and biological deterioration and in German on museum storage.
So thank you again to David Pinniger for a varied and interesting donation of books.
