Integrated Mould Management

Protecting collections from mould requires more than cleaning. It requires science, training and a safe response.

Overview

Mould is one of the most common and misunderstood risks affecting cultural collections. Poor remediation can spread contamination, place owners and volunteers at risk, and cause unnecessary and uninsurable damage to art and culture.

In 2008, Endangered Heritage pioneered the world's first research into the application of UVC technology for the remediation of mould and fungi in cultural collections. We have continued this research and tested treatment across a wide variety of substrates and moulds. Our proven treatment kills mould and spores. Today we continue to provide specialist advice, equipment and training based upon that work.

Endangered Heritage provides an integrated approach to mould management, combining risk assessment, UVC remediation, treatment protocols, occupational health and safety, staff training and long-term prevention. Our approach is designed to protect both collections and the people responsible for their care.

Dedicated Practice Website

Integrated Mould Management has its own dedicated resource and practice site.

Treatment protocols, UVC equipment specifications, training programmes and emergency response resources — built specifically for collection managers and heritage professionals working in the GLAM sector.

Our Approach

Endangered Heritage has been at the forefront of UVC mould remediation for cultural collections for over two decades. We have developed specialised UVC equipment specifically for the GLAM sector, practical treatment protocols and high art specific training that enables organisations to respond safely and confidently to mould outbreaks.
