Tudhope Conservation Studio provides the highest quality paper and photograph conservation treatment, preservation expertise and digital restoration services available to institutions, collectors and private individuals within the mountain-plains states.

We follow the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice of the American Institute For Conservation and therefore documentation (written and photographic) of all conservation treatments performed are recorded.  An open dialogue between owner and conservator is welcomed throughout the treatment process to ensure the most appropriate course of action for the piece.

Tudhope Conservation Studio's digital restoration services are unique.  Pieces are cared for by trained conservators and digital treatments can be combined with conservation services to provide a stabilized original, improved scan and digitally enhanced photographic copy. 

Instructional workshops and lectures can be tailored to organizations with specific areas of interest.  On-site surveys and consultations are available for institutions and private collections to assess conservation needs, collection care priorities and proper storage requirements.
