Disaster Preparedness & Response
Time is of the essence when it comes to responding to disasters.
Preparedness
We offer disaster planning services for institutions so they can be ready in the event of an emergency. We help museums, archives, libraries, and historical societies identify risks and develop disaster response plans.
Response
Our conservators are experienced in the treatment of objects that have undergone severe trauma, including exposure to fire, water, high humidity, mold, handling damage, and construction debris. We provide pick-up and delivery services, on-site inventory, photography, triage, and condition reports for collections of all sizes.
