Expertise
From the simplest to the most complex and varied collections , MEMORIST experts analyze the problematic exposed and the operational objectives of each client.
A strategic audit offers a global vision of your needs or allows you to focus on a specific aspect of the patrimonial process: preservation, restoration, digitization or sharing.
More advanced audits allow us to draw the outlines of the project:
- General inventory (typology, volume, condition)
- Safeguarding advice (volumetric and typological evaluation, deteriorated collections, preventive measures)
- Condition reports (identification of signs of deterioration, etc.)
- Heritage strategy (explanation of proposed choices)
- Quality insurance plans
Organize
We carry out organization services for heritage collections and establish targeted action plans:
- Analysis of the resources
- Inventory and analysis
- Simple or detailed inventory
- Treatment recommendations
- Reconditioning (standardized, in partnership with recognized service providers, by experts trained in handling)
In a more specific way, we organize the resources for their optimal digitization and conservation.
Preventive conservation
Preventive conservation takes the form of the following operations:
- Dusting of all types of media (film, photo, paper, parchment…)
- Tests: solubility of inks, identification of glues (adhesive reinforcements or paper)
- Punctual scrubbing of important stains
- Sampling for microbiological analysis (disinfection program)
