My Nonprofit Reviews

As a career museum registrar, I have depended on Intermuseum Conservation Association for the best counsel in collection care for decades. Their conservators are generous with their time and expertise, offering free advice on the phone and in person. I am not aware of any for-profit conservators who provide this service. Many for-profit conservators charge a fee for a consultation, whether or not conservation treatment is ultimately recommended, which can be cost-prohibitive for a small museum or historical society. Further, Intermuseum Conservation Association has presented many educational programs over the years, at low or no cost. Their seminars on collection storage, wet salvage, care of religious artifacts and identification and housing of works on paper have been invaluable.
