Documentation

Documentation is an integral part of any treatment. An initial report details the steps, materials, and time to treat the textile. A condition report and post-treatment report document the treatments used, accompanied by a before-and-after photographic record for visual comparison of the treatment.

This service can be used separately from treatment services to document for insurance claims or to determine a baseline for storage or transportation.

At Heritage Textile Conservation, Nickole view's documentation as an essential first step in any treatment. It provides a baseline record and visual comparison of conservation treatment. The condition report is a required document that details the conservation steps, materials proposed, and estimated time to treat the textile.
