COLLECTIONS CONSERVATION

If objects are collected, there is an inherent responsibility to ensure for the proper conservation of the objects. Not only must artifacts be initially stabilized, but there must be provisions for the perpetual stability of the collection in long term storage. Southwest Museum Services has on staff professionals trained in a full range of conservation issues. We also maintain contacts with some of the country's top conservators and laboratories.
