Green TeaThe Changing Landscape of Glacial Archaeology ConservationIn this episode, Roxy speaks with three archaeological conservators who regularly conserve archaeological finds lifted from glacial areas in the Northern Hemisphere. In ice patches, areas that are stationary, frozen, and often obscured by snowfall, organic heritage such as plant or animal-based materials can survive with minimal degradation or loss even over multiple millennia. However, the escalating warming of the planet is having a significant impact on these high altitude areas leading to more frequent melting events and exposing more finds. Francis, Margrethe, and Johanna each describe some of the unique...

Green TeaEcological Cultural Heritage with Dr Jordan TeisherIn our first of two back to back episodes concerning the overlap between ecological conservation and cultural heritage conservation, Lindsey speaks with Dr Jordan Teisher director of the herbarium at the Missouri Botanic Gardens in St Louis Missouri. Herbariums and other natural history collections contain a wealth of human heritage even if socially we no longer associate them with ‘art’ or other ‘cultural’ objects of value. While some cultures have particular reverence or place significant value upon specific plants, animals or places, it seems that the people of most Western nations have largely ignored the value of...

Microbial MondaysMycorrhizae & microplastics: Working with microbes for a changing planetHow can microbes help us to “survive the next century without a wrenching global catastrophe’? This episode is inspired by a book called The Wizard & The Prophet, by Charles C Mann. It’s all about two different ways that scientists tend to view the challenge that humanity must face in order to survive — and maybe even thrive — on earth in the future. In this episode, we take a microbial view. First, we focus in on one story about how microbes can help from the ‘prophet’ perspective – working with microbes to preserve ecosystems. Then, we dive into a story fro...

Green TeaGreener Solvents with Rosie Grayburn and Gwen FifeFinding safer alternatives to hazardous solvents not only has a positive impact on our planet's health, but also the health of conservation professionals who use the solvents. Very often the problem solving skills that conservators use in determining treatment options already includes a degree of 'sustainability' without perhaps giving it that label. In this episode, Roxy speaks with Rosie Grayburn and Gwen Fife about their project concerning 'greener' solvent use, specifically for removal of resins in paintings' conservation. (For a similar, but different topic within this theme, please see our episode with Soraya Alcala and the MFA...

Josefa’s recent MA thesis focused on the approaches that LA conservators take to be sustainable. While many don’t use the language specifically, their actions and perspectives often are congruent with sustainable action. Due to financial and local sourcing difficulties, LA conservators are much more adaptive, making reuse a common strategy of their practice as well as reconsidering rigid climate set point regulation, and reliance on energy-consuming equipment. She argues for...

Co-chair of the committee, Kate Fugett, talks to Roxy about an article that she co-wrote in 2022 about the environmental impact of glove manufacturing and waste, as well as the impact on global human health. While there often isn't a satisfying solution for a truly 'sustainable glove', Kate lays out the various avenues that conservation labs can take in effort to be more conscientious of the social and environmental harms that come with this very necessary tool in protecting ourselves and the objects...

Green TeaMicroplastics as Toxic Heritage with Prof John SchofieldWhat happens when man-made materials in the archaeological context are agents of deterioration themselves?
Prof John Schofield talks to Lindsey about his research in York, England studying the impact of microplastics on archaeological sites and its implications for future studies. The presence of micro and nano-plastics in rainwater means that plastics are omnipresent throughout the planet. As contemporary archaeologists work with sites of the “familiar past” the impact of plastic pollution has to be considered: it’s led to a shift in questioning how their deterioration is going to impact the information gained from in situ sites. They d...

Green Tea"A Green New Deal for Archives" with Eira TanseyThrough "A Green New Deal for Archives", Eira showcases how by looking at the past, we can project a manageable way forward towards mobilizing a sustainable workforce within the cultural heritage field, to benefit all communities around the US. Many archival institutions - formal or grassroots - are understaffed to handle current needs, let alone to be successfully adaptive to future climate change impacts. She breaks down with Roxy, why formal policies focused on labor growth, increased funding for safe stewardship of communities' historical records, and a pivot from perceiving climate impacts according to state borders to watershed regions...

Conservators can be the data collectors concerning collections' spaces and their climate, but aren't often involved in the mechanical side of our climate maintenance. Adrienne Bell's experience showcases why conservators should have an active relationship with facilities staff and how this relationship can create big picture change for their institution.

Green TeaMitigating Exhibition Plastic Waste with Alessandro ScolaExhibits produce a significant amount of waste over a short period of time often due the prioritization of custom mounts which cannot be reused. However for objects of similar size and proportion, like books, modularity and simplicity are not only possible, but ideal when it comes to mounts. Thermoplastics like acrylic and PETG are standard materials for cradles used by most museums and libraries exhibiting books. These costly one-offs often can't be recycled by most local municipalities. So instead of creating waste with every exhibit, reusability is key.
Alessandro talks to Roxy about his rationale for developing...

Compare this to the 69 million tons of material that was recycled in that same year. When it comes to the well known phrase 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle', many of us only think of recycling but it's clearly not the answer to our waste problem. Accessible recycling of most materials varies from place to place, city to city, state to state and 'wish-cycling' leads to contaminated batches of recycled material.
