Preventive Care & Ongoing Maintenance
CPR offers ongoing care services for collections that benefit from regular maintenance and monitoring. This may include scheduled surface cleaning, condition checks, and preventive conservation treatments carried out at agreed intervals—such as biannual or annual visits.

Freeze-Drying Services
Cultural Preservation & Restoration provides freeze-drying services to museums, historical societies, libraries, conservators, cultural resource management firms, art collectors, and government agencies.

Disaster Recovery
CPR offers conservation-focused disaster recovery services for cultural institutions, museums, and private collections affected by water, fire, or environmental emergencies. Our team specializes in the stabilization and treatment of damaged materials, with particular expertise in water-damaged paper, books, and organic objects.
Our facility houses a stationary freeze-drying chamber capable of safely extracting moisture from delicate materials through sublimation. This method is particularly effective for halting mold growth, minimizing distortion, and preserving the structural integrity of items such as books, documents, and textiles.
While our freeze-drying chamber is not mobile, CPR is equipped to assist in coordinating the safe transport of affected materials to our facility. We provide condition assessments, emergency triage, and treatment recommendations to guide clients through the recovery process with minimal loss and maximum care.
