Our in-house conservation staff have developed these Preservation Fact Sheets to assist in caring for your historical materials. These fact sheets provide basic information on the care, cleaning, and handling of a particular type of artifact, referral information to other conservation organizations, and a bibliography of authoritative works.

Individuals may also arrange for a private consultation with a conservator. For more information, please contact the Benson Ford Research Center.

Please Note: The Henry Ford and its staff strive to insure the accuracy and completeness of all information and assistance provided to patrons of the Conservation Information Service but accepts no responsibility or liability for the patron's subsequent use or misuse of any information or assistance provided.
