Material-specific method
We don’t apply a standard recipe; we determine the right technique for each object.
A sensitive approach to cultural heritage
Conservation and restoration
We provide equipment, materials and practices that extend the life of rare works, books, maps and sensitive documents.
Let’s discuss your project
Why is it needed?
The right, reversible intervention for sensitive materials.
The wrong material or treatment can cause irreversible damage and information loss.
Every material requires a different treatment. By assessing the paper structure, type of damage and conditions of use, we determine the appropriate solution from preventive measures to advanced restoration equipment.
Why Arşivist?
Where we make the difference in conservation and restoration.
Reversible intervention
All the materials and techniques we use are compatible with the object and reversible.
International-quality materials
We use brands such as CTS Conservation and Hidakawashi, for which we are the exclusive distributor.
Continuity through a conservation plan
We provide recommendations for storage and periodic inspection after restoration.

Frequently asked questions
Questions people ask about Conservation and restoration
Which materials can be restored?
Paper documents, books, maps, photographs and similar cultural heritage materials are restored using methods suited to their structure.
Does the restoration process damage the document?
No, reversible materials and techniques compatible with the object are used; a condition assessment is carried out before any intervention.
How long does restoration take?
It depends on the material’s size and degree of damage; after the condition assessment, we share a timeline and scope specific to you.
How should the material be preserved after restoration?
We provide a conservation plan covering suitable storage conditions, environmental control and periodic inspection.
Can you train our own team?
Yes, through application and usage training we help your in-house team learn basic conservation techniques.
