« All our conservation treatments
MACC paper conservators are experienced in the examination and treatment of works on paper, including fine art, historical documents, and three-dimensional objects. Works executed using a variety of media, including graphite, charcoal, chalk, pastel, iron gall ink, printing inks, watercolors, gouache, and acrylic paints, are treated in the Paper Conservation Laboratory.
Paper conservation treatments vary with the individual needs of the artwork, but can include surface cleaning, tear repair, loss compensation, tape removal, stain reduction, and flattening. In addition to in-laboratory conservation treatments, paper conservators conduct object-by-object condition surveys of museum collections and off-site projects for over-sized works.
