Mold: Prevention, Detection, and Response
Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at 2:00pm EST

Almost every institution will encounter mold at some point, either as the result of a flood, an unexpected outbreak in the collections, or through a well-intended moldy donation. Surviving a mold outbreak can be stressful, dangerous, time-consuming, and expensive, but not impossible! This webinar will cover the basics of mold: what it is, why it happens to archival and library materials, how to recognize it, and strategies for prevention and recovery. Resources for responding to a mold outbreak will also be discussed.

Funding for RHSP is generously provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities<http://www.neh.gov> (http://www.neh.gov).
