The American Institute for Conservation offers a great tool for locating conservators in your area. The website is a resource recommended by conservators and the Institute only lists professional AIC members who have attained professional designation within the organization and have been reviewed by a committee of other professional conservators. AIC also offers a convenient Find a Conservator tool.
