Yes! We restore historical photographs including daguerreotypes, tintypes, and modern prints affected by water, mold, or physical damage.
Can you restore marriage certificates, birth records, and genealogy documents?
Absolutely. We conserve paper documents of all ages using archival materials that stabilize the substrate and prevent further deterioration.
Can you restore a torn canvas or oil painting?
Yes. Torn or punctured canvases are one of our most common repairs. We use lining and consolidation techniques to stabilize and fill losses.

Yes — book conservation is a specialty. We treat bindings, detached pages, water damage, and insect or mold damage on books of any age.
