Our conservation and collections care support service is led by our Conservation Development Officer Helena Jaeschke.

Helena can support you with:
- Advice on collection care and conservation
- Site visits to assess and provide guidance on your collections
- Connecting museums to specialist support or national networks
- Tool kits and resources specific to your needs
