Our Objects Lab has helped both individuals and organizations preserve their histories by caring for, preserving, and treating their precious artifacts.
Our past work includes everything from fantastic works of art, pieces of historical importance, and beloved personal objects.
We have treated:
- Ceramics
- Glass
- Metals
- Leather
- Organic Materials
- Composite Objects
In addition to the History Nebraska collections, we have worked with many museums, university libraries, and private clients. Anyone wanting to discuss a project or get some artifact preservation advice is encouraged to contact us.
