This bibliography was initially prepared in May 2002 by Bruno Pouliot, with the collaboration and assistance of Linda Lennon, Winterthur Class of 1997, who then served as Assistant Conservator on different projects at Winterthur Museum and for WUDPAC. Responsibility for the bibliography was passed to Dr. Joelle Wickens in 2009. It is constantly updated and your suggestions for new sources are welcome.

Ultraviolet-filtered lighting and cellulose degradation: evaluating the effect of light exposure on ethnographic collections.

This article presents the results of a study at the British Museum on the impact of UV-free lighting on organic materials commonly found in ethnographic collections. Although this would need further investigation, the results indicated that the cellulosic-based materials were still damaged by visible light alone. (provided by Bruno P. Pouliot)
