Hello,
I’m wondering if anyone while working at a heritage institution has or has had their institution launch/maintain a service preforming preventative conservation/conservation work for
the public as a means of revenue generation? I’m not necessarily talking about major projects, but things like rehousing, humidification/flattening, light cleaning, or other typically low intensity/quick turnaround services. How did this work for you or your
institution? What was the response? What population area/type did you serve? Any potential competition/pitfalls you didn’t expect?
It’s an idea that I’ve been tossing around and thought I’d check things out. Thank you.
