Providing conservation treatment and preservation advice for general and circulating collections.
The Harvard Library Collections Care unit houses a production-oriented collections care program for actively circulating collections that largely post-date the 18th century. We are committed to the use of permanent and durable materials, structurally sound treatment techniques, and an efficient approach to production. We are committed to excellence, productivity, and adherence to the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.
In order to provide the best possible service for Harvard's vast collections, our skilled staff members work in many locations across the Harvard campus.
If you have questions concerning general and circulating collections, please contact us.
