conservation

Introduction

NEDCC conservators' expertise includes conservation of photographs; works of art on paper, including drawings and paintings in all media, prints, collage, and contemporary works; maps; books; documents; parchment; architectural plans; and wallpaper. Conservators also treat works with unusual formats such as globes and other composite objects with paper components. Treatment options range from basic stabilization to stain reduction and compensation for loss, where appropriate.

NEDCC’s conservators use materials that are stable and durable, and NEDCC adheres to the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.
