Conservation services
We have a dedicated conservation studio with specialist equipment and materials. Our trained Conservator is responsible for the conservation and preservation of the archival collections held here, to ensure they are accessible and protected for future generations.
We offer conservation services to external clients. From large organisations to small family collections, we can offer the following:
- free advice and treatment proposals
- conservation of books, paper and parchment documents, maps and wax seals (prices from £50 per hour)
- archival packaging and storage solutions
- preparing documents for exhibitions
- presentations and training
