Conservation and Collections Care

Collection management and conservation care play a vital role in the long term preservation of objects, collections and heritage interiors. A considered approach helps ensure valuable collections remain protected, accessible and cared for for future generations.

We provide specialist conservation and collections management support across a range of heritage projects, including museum refurbishments, extensions and new developments. Our services support projects from concept through to completion, ensuring collection care is embedded at every stage, from initial briefs and specifications through to design collaboration and implementation support.

Understanding environmental conditions is equally important in protecting collections. Through detailed analysis of humidity, light and environmental data, we help identify risks and provide practical recommendations to support long term collection care.

Our services include:

• Environmental monitoring and analysis of humidity and light data
• Collection audits and reviews
• Training and guidance in collections care
• Condition assessments and surveys
• Practical onsite conservation and collections care support
• Advice and planning for object movement and decant projects
• Conservation support for building and refurbishment works

This can range from practical hands on support with moving paintings and collections through to strategic advice during large scale heritage and building projects.
