getting an estimate

Obtaining a proposal and cost estimate for treatment:
NEDCC’s conservators must examine the object to be treated before a treatment proposal and cost estimate can be given. Costs depend on the condition of the material and the type of treatment that is needed, and each object is unique. Objects can be brought to NEDCC for examination or they can be shipped. Packing and shipping instructions are available. Once an object has been examined, the conservator provides an estimate that sets out options for treatment. The course of treatment must be approved by the client before conservation treatment can begin.

Obtaining a cost estimate for imaging of materials?

Costs depend upon the condition of the material. It is always helpful to see at least a cross sample of the collection prior to providing an estimate. Non-binding estimates will be provided by the Imaging department after discussion with the client.
