Conservators provide consultation and treatment of paper artworks including watercolours, pastels, drawings, prints including engravings, etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and screen prints, historic and contemporary photographs, scrolls and screens, maps, posters, and cultural ephemera etc. While the majority of conservation treatments are performed on fine-art works in the Indian tradition, the team also has expertise in conservation and mounting practices of East Asian scrolls and screens on paper and silk. The conservation and restoration treatments include cleaning, removal/reduction of stains, repair of tears and creases, lining, mounting etc.
