How to Arrange for Services

Works of art are accepted at the Center by pre-arrangement only. To have an object in your collection treated or examined, or to arrange for a consultation, please contact the Center's main office (404-733-4589) for an appointment. If you have further questions, you will be referred to the appropriate conservator.

Treatment cost is based on time and materials required, not on the value of the object. Appraisal is an altogether separate professional activity from conservation; AACC conservators are not in a position to offer this service. We recommend that you contact an expert in a field related to your object. Often, the curatorial department of your local art museum or historical society can refer you to an appropriate specialist. (Also see links to appraisal services on this site).

Staff members are available to advise on shipping objects to the Center. If an object is too large, heavy or fragile to be safely transported to AACC, ask about a site visit. We cannot accept shipments without pre-arrangement, and strongly recommend that private owners personally deliver their works. If third-party delivery is necessary, we recommend the use of professional shippers. Contact us for recommendations.
