Conservation
Conservators at the CRC work to preserve the collections through both preventive and interventive treatments.
Preventive Conservation
Preventive Conservation inhibits damage to the collections through a variety of activities.
Interventive Conservation
Treatments are carried out to address the physical and chemical effects of damage to the collection.
Musical Instruments
Musical instruments require regular use to keep them in excellent condition.
