Summary

Editor’s Note: One of the worst nightmares of a curator is the development and growth of moulds which affect the collection and, indeed, may also affect the health of museum workers. When the Museum’s collection in storage appeared to have mould, colleagues from the NIOH and others were called in for assistance and advice. This article is about their investigation.
