Collection Care Guidance

Not every collector or institution has the staff or budget to maintain a full-time Collection Manager or Conservation team, this is where we can help!  From individual questions about a particular object, to comprehensive support in drafting or updating a collection management plan, we provide guidance on a variety of preventative conservation issues.  And if you need service we are not qualified to provide, we'll happily refer you to another specialist who can help.
