Preservation

The Preservation Division actively supports and promotes the Arizona State Museum policy to preserve and protect the collections entrusted to its care. The care and treatment of objects is guided by the principle that the integrity of the object should be preserved in every way possible.

To meet the ethical, legal and educational concerns related to these responsibilities, the Preservation Division collaborates with ASM sections and UA Departments, as well as regional, national, and international cultural communities, institutions, and related agencies to maintain the highest standards of practice and to provide reliable advice, assistance, and information on the most current knowledge and practices.

The Arizona State Museum Conservation Laboratory conducts research and provides educational opportunities as they relate to the preservation of cultural property.
