Request cultural object restoration from Québec’s conservation centre
Prepare a restoration or expert assessment request and check the fee category that applies to you.
Seek advice before attempting treatment yourself. Mishandling can worsen an object’s deterioration.
Identify the need
Restoration concerns treatment of the object. Expert assessment may instead address storage conditions, transport, packing or project planning. [2]
Prepare a description
As practical preparation, note the object’s type, dimensions, condition and your objective. Gather available records without dismantling or cleaning it for the request. [2]
Request service
Use the official service request form. Check the applicable client category and current fees; free-hour allocations are reserved for certain organizations. [1]
Confirm the scope
Before committing to costs, clarify the service, estimated price, transport and timeline. Keep the quotation and recommendations for future conservation. [1]
