Time takes its toll on all things, but preservation strategies can preserve art and artifacts for future generations.
From works of art on paper to historic tools, digital media to photographic materials, everything we love needs protection to keep it around for our own enjoyment and for many years to come. Beth Heller Conservation is here to help, with on-site or online/remote visits as needed.

- Combining my first career as a psychotherapist, I also offer preservation management coaching sessions to those in leadership positions in libraries, archives and museums. Sometimes it helps to talk with someone outside your organization who understands the challenges and can see the opportunities. Please note that I am not currently licensed as a psychotherapist and am not offering psychotherapy services.
