Conservation surveys
Don't know where to start when it comes to preserving your collection? A lack of time and money are a common problem. A collection survey can effectively prioritise conservation needs and make the most of limited resources.
Preservation needs assessments
The Community Heritage Grants program run by the National Library of Australia funds Preservation Needs Assessments for cultural collections. An assessment looks at your collection as a whole, determining risks and establishing preservation priorities. ArtWorks Conservation is an experienced provider.
Preventive Conservation
Improving the environmental conditions may be the most cost effective way of preserving a collection. Specialist advice on temperature, relative humidity, lighting and pest management.
Storage, display and transportation of objects
From design, fabrication and installation of customised solutions to advice and supply of appropriate materials.
Assistance with grant applictions
Most small collections are reliant on grants to fund conservation works. We can assist in presenting your case in the best possible light.
Public art consultation
Advice on the selection, design and location of proposed public artworks from a conservation perspective. Assistance with maintenance and conservation scheduling.
Graffiti protection
ArtWorks Conservation can protect valuable public art and monuments from vandalism using an environmentally friendly, removable anti-graffiti coating. Ask us how.
