The Interregional Center of Conservation and Restoration of cultural Heritage of Marseille (CICRP) and the National Institute of the Agronomic research (INRA) , of Montpellier in collaboration with the National Center of DNA sequence ( GENOSCOPE ) of Evry, realizeda database devoted to the" Insects of the Cultural Heritage ".
The database inventories and describes the dangerous insects present in heritage places constituting a risk for the conservation of the cultural property : museum collections, libraries and archives and historic buildings.
The database is a tool allowing survey and identification of the insects present in these places, these data are essential for preventive and curative measures to undertake in case of infestation.
It is dedicated to any professional in charge of cultural heritage conservation and to any other professional and scientist concerned or interested by these questions. its contents, its ergonomics and its presentation makes the database accessible to any public.
For each species several entries are proposed such as the common names and the scientific names (1), the infested materials (2), the molecular sequence (3), the keys of identification (dichotomic and visual) (4)... These entries are related to a descriptive form for each species (see Internet site : www.ensam.inra.fr/cbgp/insectes-du-patrimoine ).

In addition to general texts based on the nomenclature, the classification and the presentation of the orders and the families, the database gives information about the survey, the biology, the frequency and the distribution of each species mentioned.
The glossary contents the entomological and technical vocabulary used in the base, in order to allow a better comprehension of the texts and descriptions, whatever the level of the technical or scientist training of the consultant.
Sequencing techniques allow us to offer tools based on extracted DNA from individual reference
This page is dedicated for biologists interested in molecular species identification and desirous to identify a species from its DNA
