- Canadian Conservation Institute
The Canadian Conservation Institute is recognized as a pioneer in the conservation of cultural heritage in Canada.
Canadian Conservation Institute was created in 1972 to promote the proper care and preservation of Canada's cultural heritage and to advance the practice, science, and technology of conservation. The Institute has worked closely with hundreds of museums, art galleries, academic institutions, and other heritage organizations to help them better preserve their collections. As a Special Operating Agency of the Department of Canadian Heritage, Canadian Conservation Institute has widened its scope of activities and now markets its services and products around the world.
These are some of the services that they offer:
* Advice on preserving a historic house or property,
* Collections assessment surveys,
* Advice for conservation or restoration treatment for a valuable work of art,
* Providing training opportunities,
* The Institute will also assemble teams to meet specific conservation, scientific, and testing requirements.
With a staff of about 80, the Institute has treated more than 13 000 objects for the heritage community, has published hundreds of scientific papers, and has distributed in excess of one million publications. The Institute responds to at least 2000 requests for assistance annually. Working together in well-equipped, fully secure, climate-controlled laboratories, conservators, chemists, engineers, biologists, and other professionals handle projects ranging from information inquiries to complex treatments and research.
