Services
Institutional and private collectors need a comprehensive plan to ensure the long-term care of their holdings. I customize conservation plans to suit your specific needs and budget. Some of the services I offer are:
- Strategic Planning: Identify, prioritize and budget for your conservation goals.
- Collection Surveys: Identify what is in your collection; describe and analyse current storage and display methods and materials. Make specific recommendations for maintenance and upgrade.
- Environmental Surveys: Monitor and record Temperature, Light, Relative Humidity and, in special cases, Air Quality. Make specific recommendations for maintenance and modification.
- Education is key to making informed choices for the art and artifacts under your care. I offer a number of informative lectures and demonstrations for interested groups or institutions.
For large or complex projects I will assemble a team of professionals to address your specific needs.
