Harpers Ferry Center's conservators provide professional conservation services for National Park Service (NPS) museum collections from parks across the U.S. and its territories. These services include object treatments, on-site assessments, exhibition and preservation planning, emergency response, and training. They also manage the HFC Commisioned Art Collection and the HFC History Collection.
