The contract values have ranged from approximately $20,000 to $29,000, and the work involves detailed on-site surveys, current practice reviews, drafting comprehensive reports, implementing initial plan steps, and creating pest monitoring databases. These contracts demonstrate Artifact Conservation Services' expertise in preventative conservation and museum collection management for federal cultural institutions.
