We slow down the deterioration of your treasures
– WAY down. Our processes will add decades
and even centuries to their lives. They will be ready for carefree
handling, display and transport. We consult with you, assess the
condition of your items and prepare a bid for restoration and
preservation for the items.
Here are some examples of our
work. We repaired and preserved these items and encapsulated them
in archival materials. Please click on any image to see a larger
version.
Usually, the only people in your community
who can do this work are museum and library staff. But they are
often overworked and do not have time to help with your items.
They also cannot use their supplies for it. That’s
where we come in!
