Conservation

CONSERVATION is the process of prolonging the life of the built environment, objects, art, and artifacts. Committed to conserving the world’s built environment, Spectra’s team of artists, craftsmen, and conservators has the experience and expertise to ensure that each project meets preservation standards.

From assessing and documenting conditions to analyzing and testing, specifying appropriate treatments, and carrying out the work and ongoing maintenance, Spectra tailors each solution to the client’s needs and to standards set by national and international organizations. These include the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

Spectra’s conservation experts are members of the American Institute for Conservation and the Association for Preservation Technology International.
