collaborative conservation and collection care. 

 

We work collaboratively with communities, iwi, hapū, and organisations across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand to support the care of cultural heritage and collections.

From conservation assessments and treatment, to collection management and preservation advice, we provide tailored conservation services across a wide range of cultural materials and museum collections. Our approach ensures both the cultural and physical value of your material is understood, respected, and preserved for future generations.

We take the time to listen - to your stories, your knowledge, and your connection to the material. Through this, we work alongside you to understand your conservation and collection care needs, shaping solutions that are practical, culturally grounded, and responsive to each project.

We take a holistic approach to the care of Indigenous cultural material, recognising these as living, breathing, and continually evolving - grounded in ongoing relationships between people, place, and community.
