We love books! We can offer a conservation service tailored to your book and budget. We understand the importance of maintaining the original integrity and character of the book by keeping as much of the original binding and materials as possible.

Work can be varied in this specialism from large maps that require cleaning and repairs to smaller documents that require stabilisation and rehousing. All work is carried using the highest quality materials.

Digitisation can reduce the handling of the material and allow it to be more accessible to a wider audience. We can conserve or stabilise material before digitisation. We can also offer handling support to photographers.

We not only do bench work but are also able to access your collection and provide information on how to best safeguard it for the future. We can also carry out condition surveys for items on loan or in an exhibition as well as new acquisitions.

Training is a great way to learn how to care for your collection. We can make tailored sessions on how to safely handle and clean your objects.

The best way to look after your collection is to prevent damage. We can advise on ways to care for your collection including housing and cleaning.
