SUMMARY:Exploring Sustainable Conservation Practices: Insights from the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (MAE-USP).
DESCRIPTION:Title: Exploring Sustainable Conservation Practices: Insights from the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (MAE-USP). \nPresenter: Ana Carolina Delgado Vieira \n\n\nEvent Date \nFriday\, May 31st\, 2024 at 11 a.m. (PT) \nEvent Location \nWherever your zoom-compatible device is located \n\nRSVP HERE \n\n\nAbstract: For decades\, ethnographic museums have treated their collections with pesticides. To preserve organic objects\, these institutions used DDT\, pentachlorophenol\, hexachlorobenzene\, and paradichlorobenzene\, among other common chemicals.\n\nDue to environmental and health concerns\, the use of pesticides in museums became less appropriate in the late 20th century. \nCurrently\, the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology (MAE-USP) is using ionizing radiation to treat objects affected by insects. \nAs well as discussing the factors that influenced the selection of this technique\, this presentation highlights the importance of a partnership with the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN) as one of the major contributors to the renewal of traditional gears in ethnographic museums such as MAE-USP. \n\nSpeaker Bio: Ana Carolina Delgado Vieira \nAna Carolina Delgado Vieira holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in history from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil.  She holds a certificate in conservation from the Templo da Arte in São Paulo\, Brazil and the Yachaywasi Institute of Conservation in Lima\, Peru\, specializing in archaeological and ethnographic materials.Since 2008\, she has been a conservator at the Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia (MAE-USP). Her responsibilities include conducting condition surveys of collections and items\, performing conservation treatments\, and preparing items for exhibition\, loan\, move\, and research. Since 2013\, she has been the head of the conservation laboratory.Her research interests include interdisciplinary collaboration\, indigenous participation\, and how conservators can work collaboratively with indigenous collection originators and descendants to reframe ethnographic traditional museums.Currently\, she is a PhD candidate at the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN-CNEN/SP) of the University of São Paulo\, where she is researching the use of ionizing radiation to preserve cultural heritage.\n\n  \nFor questions regarding the talk\nContact us at mmrawlins@g.ucla.edu or ckcaraway229@g.ucla.edu\n\n\nTo view recordings of previous talks\, please visit the Cotsen Youtube page \n\nAs a land grant institution\, the faculty and administration at UCLA acknowledge the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin\, South Channel Islands).

SUMMARY:Toxic Heritage in Museum Collections – History\, Impact and Mitigation of Pesticides
DESCRIPTION:Toxic Heritage in Museum Collections – History\, Impact and Mitigation of Pesticides\n\n\nEvent Date: Friday\, December 1\, 2023 at 11 a.m. (PT)\n\n\nPresenter: Helene Tello\n\nRSVP Link\n\nThe use of pesticides in museum collections at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century will be discussed in the socio-political context of Germans history. Embedded in the formation of nation states\, the First World War\, industrialization\, and the subsequent hygiene movement\, museums fought with various active ingredients and agents against the decay of their objects by harmful insects. Appearing as small self-contained institutions\, they relied heavily on outside support. The Ethnological Museum in Berlin (EM)\, with its cultural-political significance\, and geographical location\, is ideally suited as a case study. There\, an extensive collection policy led to completely overcrowded storages and exhibition halls\, where harmful insects found plenty of food at the objects made of organic materials. As a consequence\, individuals\, scientific institutions\, and a booming industry were feverishly searching for active ingredients and agents for combating harmful pests. The former staff at the EM began networking nationally and internationally to stop the infestation in the collections. But the most innovative and revolutionary technological aid came from Sweden\, where a plant for mass fumigation of insect pests\, specially constructed for museum facilities\, was invented. It was spread to Germany and throughout Europe in the further course. This presentation on the history of conserving cultural assets against harmful pests complements our knowledge on the preservation of museum objects as well as on the assessment of human-toxic hazards that emanate from the formerly introduced active ingredients and agents in the collection’s objects. The presentation also refers to the various efforts to develop methods and technologies to remove or mitigate toxic substances from objects with organic materials.\n  \nPRESENTER \nHelene Tello \nHelene Tello is working since 2020 as a freelance senior conservator. Starting her career in 1980\, she opened her own conservation studio in 1983. Then she moved on to the Vonderau Museum in Fulda\, Germany. Subsequently\, she looked after the Indian collections at the Ethnologisches Museum of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Ethnological Museum of the National Museums in Berlin)\, Germany\, from 1998 to mid-2020. There\, she encountered the topic of pesticides formerly used on objects. She conducts research on decontamination methods of such treated cultural assets as well as safe handling of them for everyone who has to deal with it. Due to the opening of museum collections to indigenous people\, who started collaborating with the museums as well as repatriating their own cultural assets\, her many years of expertise are extremely important in our time. Her knowledge is spread out through numerous journal contributions\, teaching activities and lectures at home and abroad. Helene Tello will be researching on the Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) from May to October 2024 as part of her Fulbright scholarship at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). This takes place against the background of the debates on neocolonialism that have arisen in Germany and Europe and the demands of indigenous people on museums for collaboration and restitution of their cultural assets. \nRSVP Link \n  \nFor questions regarding the talk\nContact us at mmrawlins@ucla.edu\nor ckcaraway229@g.ucla.edu \n
