Conservation Services

ll work is performed on-premises from beginning to end in controlled conditions and to current museum grade standards or higher. We can produce custom forms for your uniforms utilizing stable acid free materials or have your larger items custom framed or encased utilizing UV rated plexiglass.

We are fully insured and bonded and can supply a list of very satisfied clients at your request. All services are quoted prior to work beginning, so there is no "surprise" at the end of your project. Our specialization is American Civil War era fabrics.

We are now pleased to offer controlled condition deionized water wash and rinse services in a specially designed facility which houses the largest stainless steel cleaning tank assembly currently performing contract work-8' x 10'-with a separate drying room as well to speed up the process in a safe and effective manner. All materials are tested for color fastness prior to any washing or cleaning procedure to ensure the integrity of the materials to the safest possible limits. Utilizing a sintererd 316 grade stainless steel support, articles can be rinsed in a stain-free environment with a delicate spraying system. For more complicated processes, we also can utilize a 0.22 micron filtered oil-free compressed air system of the same grade utilized in pharmaceutical production facilities worldwide.
