OUR SERVICES

CONSERVATION

We accept rare books, family bibles, scrapbooks, broadsides, prints, maps, ephemera, and other works on paper. We are experienced in the preventative and interventive conservation of leather, paper, cloth, and parchment.

CONSULTING

The focus of our consultations is on advising clients on proper storage, procedures and policies that govern special collections. Our consultations are geared towards collectors, museums, and university library administration. 

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are offered in bookbinding, book arts, and in basic book repair techniques. Workshops can be tailored to small interest groups, professionals, and K-12 programming. Please contact us to request a workshop or a visit to your school.
