We have extensive experience in providing conservation advice and reports. While the studio was part of the Area Museums Service we surveyed and advised more than 200 museums, art galleries and historic houses.
Examples include:
- collection surveys to give an overview of condition and conservation needs,
- reports and estimates for grant applications,
- listing conservation priorities to enable limited funds to be targeted most effectively,
- identifying damaging storage materials and methods, with recommendations for alternatives,
- Environmental inspections/’health checks’,
- condition reports on individual items,
- advice on prospective acquisitions; condition and future conservation costs.
