Did you know conservators sometimes use their spit to clean artifacts? Conservator Jacqueline Riddle is guest writing for the monthly "3 things you should know..." blog in @MichelleCbell's absence. https://t.co/O1rMI58a89

#ClosureWeek at @avspacemuseum means training for our guides. Today we are exploring conservation practices and agents of deteriorating for collections with our @SciTechPreserv team

[Cedric B. @TechnoCurator]

Defeating the forces of evil to preserve digital objects! The @IngeniumCa Digital Preservation Lab had a blast at the Game History Symposium We enjoyed meeting everyone and learning about your great projects!

@chicklets_1999 @SciTechPreserv @aricheson @AgMuseum @IngeniumCa @CAPC_ACRP @conservators From our Conservator Rejean Demers: "The spiders were released from the Fairey Firefly,cat no. 1993.0196 , while being transported overseas in a RCAF Hercules while a Conservator was on-board. Treatment had to wait until he climbed down off the wall." 😆😮😬

@danmcknight @avspacemuseum @IngeniumCa @conservators This is the accessory gear drive for the Arrow's utility systems. Part of the scrapping of an unknown CF-105 aircraft.

@BoCMuseum @IngeniumCa Ooo we love a good corrosion treatment!

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

#AskAConservator why is 🚭smoking🚭bad? In addition to the adverse health☠️effects, it causes staining that lasts for decades! Check out these before/after photos of removing🟡yellow🟡nicotine🚬stains from a ca. 1968 Zenith television📺set. @SciTechMuseum @IngeniumCa @PHAC_GC

@AgMuseum Not all heroes wear capes🦸‍♀️🦸🏿‍♂️... some wear a conservator's lab coat 🥼😷.

Joyeux 50e🎂anniversaire🎂à nos amis à l'Institut canadien de conservation!

[Ingenium - Musées des sciences et de l'innovation @IngeniumFr]

Joyeux anniversaire à l’ICC!🎉🙂La division de la conservation d’Ingenium @SciTechPreserv est ravie de vous avoir comme voisins à Ottawa. Nous avons pu travailler ensemble sur de nombreux projets, comme l’analyse de cette mousse dégradée pour reproduire la saqueboute électronique

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

Happy 50th🎂birthday🎂to our friends at the Canadian Conservation Institute!

[Ingenium @IngeniumCa]

Happy birthday CCI!🎉🙂 @SciTechPreserv is proud to be your neighbor just down the road in Ottawa. We have been fortunate to work jointly on cool projects, such as analyzing this degraded foam to support the reproduction work on the electronic Sackbut!

Show us your most satisfying treatment? Conservator Pat Montero has an answer: rebuilding the spine of this book 📖. Wow!😎 #AskAConservator

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

@MendesMusings @SciTechMuseum @IngeniumCa @conservators Or how about this Nash Motor home? It's unique inside and out! #AskAConservator

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

@MendesMusings @SciTechMuseum @IngeniumCa @conservators Any Space artifact is most unusual. To conserve the Hermes Satellite model, Patricia had to get space tape & foil for mending from @csa_asc David Florida Lab. A fun adventure!

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

@aricheson @AgMuseum @IngeniumCa @CAPC_ACRP @conservators We check all artifacts for pests as they enter our collection. Some farm artifacts can be tricky due to their large size🚜! No unusual pests - but we found hundreds of dead🐭mice🐁in a thresher😱🥲. IPM essentials: monitor, isolate, vacuum/remove debris and fumigate/freeze.

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

@danmcknight @avspacemuseum @IngeniumCa @conservators We have many artifacts in our collections that are one of a kind! Advanced research & preservation strategies are needed & experts are consulted. The CF-105 Avro Arrow combined new, unproven technologies, which had not yet had the benefit of service development #AskAConservator

[Ingenium Conservation @SciTechPreserv]

@PhotoCons @CAC_ACCR That's pretty chilly! Our walk-in calls for more of a light jacket! It is 4°C, used to store food artifacts & sensitive 3D plastics, foams, glass slides & batteries. We store colour photographic prints, negatives in chest freezers (-18°C) - no parka required! #AskAConservator

[CAC-ACCR @CAC_ACCR]

@SciTechPreserv @PhotoCons Haha, it's both! I'm doing a inspection in our cold vault. It's where we store our colour photographic prints, colour negatives and deteriorated diacetate negatives. We keep it at a chilly -18°C (± 2°C) and 30% relative humidity (± 5%).
