     Extractions: The toxicity of old pesticides has taken on a serious new meaning since the passage of the federal Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The 1990 act entitles Native American tribes to claim human remains, and funerary, sacred, or patrimonial objects (those that are part of their cultural inheritance) back from museums. Dr. James Nason, professor of Anthropology and curator of Pacific and American Ethnology for the University of Washington's Burke Museum, was concerned about turn-of-the-century pesticide residues in the Burke's collections. As chair of repatriation operations for the Museum, he knew that many of the sacred objects might be put back into active ceremonial use. Ceremonies can last up to four days, with important roles performed by tribal elders who could be particularly susceptible to toxic effects.

102. How Do Violins Change With Playing And Environmental Changes Over Time?
     Do playing, ageing and/or environmental changes affect violins? And museumsare good at maintaining material and documents for long periods.

     Extractions: Do playing, ageing and/or environmental changes affect violins? Whether it is a product of the passage of time, the exposure to the atmosphere and its variations, or the amount of playing, many violinists believe that oldies are goodies, and spurn inexperienced instruments. When Michael Lea, curator of music at the Powerhouse Museum , wanted to buy for the museum's collection an instrument by renowned maker Harry Vatiliotis, and when simultaneously Sydney musician Romano Crivici commissioned an instrument from the same maker, an opportunity arose to examine these questions. Harry has a reputation for making fine instruments, and for making them reproducibly. This project began in 2001, when he made two very similar instruments from wooden plates, seasoned for 80 years, that had originally been intended to make a cello. Thus the bellies came from adjacent areas of the same slab of spruce, and both backs came from the same sample of maple. During and after construction, they were subjected to acoustical tests by Ra Inta, PhD student in the Acoustics Lab at UNSW and, when finished, to playing and listening tests. Since then, one has been maintained in controlled, museum conditions. It is only occasionally played. Meanwhile, the other belongs to Romano and is his usual instrument for performance and practice.

105. Pollutants In The Museum Environment (Conservation At The Getty)
     A summary of a Getty Conservation Institute project that examined the risks posedto museum collections by atmospheric pollutants.

     Extractions: Science Field Projects Education Publications and Videos ... Past Projects Pollutants in the Museum Environment (1985-1998) In 1985 the Getty Conservation Institute began researching the risks posed to museum collections by atmospheric pollutants. Initial studies focused on outdoor pollutants (nitrogen oxides, ozone and other photochemical oxidants, sulfur dioxide, and particles). Research later expanded to include indoor-generated pollutants (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and formic and acetic acids). The emphasis of research also shifted from the macroenvironment (gallery and storage spaces) to the microenvironment (display cases and storage cabinets). Studies were carried out to determine the damage gaseous pollutants cause to various types of museum objects. The Institute also studied passive sampling devices that would allow museums to conduct their own surveys with minimal cost and expertise. Through testing, a number of commercially available, relatively low-cost products were identified. Also investigated were mitigation methodologies to reduce significant indoor concentrations of pollutants. Those methods that proved effective used active filtration, passive protection, and combinations of procedures that worked along with the building's ventilation system. Related articles in

     Extractions: On the whole, museums assume an irreplaceable position among the many cultural facilities because they not only take the responsibilities of collecting, preserving, studying and displaying artefacts, but also play diversified educational roles in society. Due to the many changes in the world order - political, social, cultural, and environmental, museums are expected to become a place of knowledge and pleasure, or even more open, responsive and professional. Being more customer-driven and more aware of the visitors' needs, museums should play a more proactive and pre-emptive role in serving the community. After all, the success of museum service depends very much on the strong support from the community forces and their co-operation. Footnote:
