Résumé:

"Insect and fungal pests can threaten heritage collections wherever they are stored, whether in a public museum or a private home. In order to identify a specific problem, eliminate it and prevent it occurring again, it is necessary to understand the interrelationship of three components: the materials of the heritage objects, the environment of the objects and aspects of the biology of the insects and fungi."--Book cover
