Studio-based or in-house conservation

Whether it’s a well-paged paperback or an ancient leather-bound volume, if it means something to you, it’s worth looking after. Applying conservation-based techniques, designed to protect the authenticity of the object, we can help to extend the life-expectancy of your treasures. For archives and collections, a conservator can come to you to provide in-situ conservation services, equipped with all of the necessary tools and materials.

Training in conservation housekeeping

This service is particularly useful for staff members and volunteers who are not from a conservation background. When interacting with heritage, a basic understanding of the principles of conservation can help to avoid accidents through incorrect handling or cleaning. It is also very interesting information to pass on to curious visitors! A training course can be planned around the specific needs of your property and collection.
