Conservation

The National Advisory Services draws on the expertise of the conservators in our Collection Care Department to deliver advice on conservation issues.

The National Archives cares for its own holdings through the provision of an integrated preservation programme of risk assessment, staff training, emergency response planning, and pest monitoring. For further information about the work of the Collection Care team and the work it is doing in Conservation Research, and for guidance on preserving certain materials see the section on Preservation.
