Conservation and Projects
Conservation
There are two purpose-built conservation studios within Museums and Special Collections; the Conservation Laboratory based at Marischal College, and the Glucksman Conservation Centre in the Special Collections Centre.
The conservation staff look after all aspects of the physical care of the collections which include an extremely wide range of materials. Work includes both interventive conservation (physical and chemical stabilisation of items) and implementation of preventive measures to monitor or control agents that can cause deterioration to the collection.
Staff also contribute to the exhibition and engagement programmes, university teaching and analytical research based on the collections.
