The Works on Paper Studio
The Works on Paper studio is fully equipped to provide a complete range of professional conservation treatments. Our museum-quality DSLR camera, UV-examination lights, and digital microscope offer a range of options for the investigation and documentation of objects brought to us for conservation.
Our studio’s ample size (over 2,000 square feet) allows us to handle large collections simultaneously and treat a wide variety of oversized objects such as posters and historic wallpaper. In addition to a large stainless steel sink, drying racks, several flattening presses and tables, and drying boards, we also have a full complement of specialized paper conservation equipment. This includes suction tables and platens, HEPA-filtered vacuums, a fume hood for organic solvent treatments, and an artificial light bleaching unit.
Our studio is climate-controlled and equipped with a centrally monitored security system. We carry both general liability and fine art insurance policies; certificates of insurance can be provided upon request.
