Conservation Services for Industrial Collections

The Institute offers a wide range of specialized conservation services for industrial collections. CCI recognizes that clients with industrial collections are in a “holding pattern” and facing difficult times. To address this situation, CCI offers a variety of unique services.

Object and Site Analysis

Industrial artifacts were not designed for static display, and some deterioration is inevitable. CCI staff can help you:

identify and prioritize your most urgent problems
prevent permanent damage with simple interventive measures
save money by avoiding deterioration that could lead to costly restoration work in the future

Mothballing

Organizations are often compelled to accept objects before they have the resources to care for them. Proper procedures can stop deterioration while resources are pending. CCI can help you protect your investments with expert advice on:

modern industrial packaging and coatings technology
pest control
maintenance and monitoring
security

Interpretive Use of Artifacts

Many clients are under pressure to offer interactive experiences with their artifacts, and many artifacts can be used for interpretation without suffering damage. The professional conservators at CCI can help you:

identify vulnerable components and set limitations for their use
instruct interpreters in safe operations
develop a maintenance program for each artifact

Training and Presentations

Training and educating staff and volunteers is expensive and time-consuming. CCI can:

provide on-site training to help overcome geographical isolation and accommodate your schedule
help you stay current with the latest developments in conservation
complement your exhibits and special events with presentations and educational courses for the public
combine slide lectures, evening classes, and panel discussions to meet your needs
