Conservation Services and Consulting |
| The Conservation Department at the
MAC is a full-service conservation facility for archaeological objects
and collections. Our primary purpose is to treat and preserve the
archaeological heritage of the State of Maryland. We also provide
contract conservation services to other institutions and
individuals.
We can treat the full range of archaeological materials, and specialize in the treatment of waterlogged organic materials, metals from submerged sites, and the assessment and stabilization of bulk collections. We also provide consulting services in handling, treatment, and storage for archaeological projects, individual objects and collections. If you would like to contact our conservation staff for a consultation or download our Service Rates and Work Order Request forms - follow the links below. |

The State of Maryland has created standards for handling and packing archaeological materials for long-term storage that work within the Federal guidelines for collections 36CFR79. These standards are presented in Technical Update No. 1 of the Standards and Guidelines for Archaeological Investigations in Maryland: Collections and Conservation Standards Seifert 1999-Revised 2005. To get a copy of these standards in .pdf format please click on the following link: To receive copies via mail, call 410-586-8550 or email sraftery@mdp.state.md.us. |
