Book Conservation

I have enhanced my conservation knowledge with internships at the British Library and Victoria and Albert Museum. My customers include private collectors throughout New Zealand as well as the National Library of New Zealand and Archives New Zealand. My conservation work is aligned to international conservation standards.
