Conservator
A conservator is a professional whose primary occupation is the
preservation of cultural property. Conservators have the
specialized training, education, and experience needed to select and
perform treatments to stabilize or restore an object and to minimize
the chemical and physical deterioration and damage to the object over time.
The national organization of professional conservators is the American Institute for
Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) in Washington, D.C.
The AIC can assist you in finding a qualified conservator who has the
skill and training to provide sound, ethical preservation services
for your collection.
