The aim of conservation science is to find better ways to preserve the historic collections and interiors far beyond their original lifetimes.
Scientific research
We conduct scientific research to make sure that our work is founded on the most up-to-date knowledge. We need to confirm that our technical conservation treatments will stand the test of time – so we analyse all the materials to check that they are chemically stable and will be safe to use with valuable and delicate historic objects for many decades into the future.
