At the Boston Athenaeum, the preservation of our special and circulating collections is at the heart of everything we do. Behind every exhibition, every page turned, and every research discovery is a dedicated conservation team working to ensure these treasures withstand the test of time.

How You Can Help

A conservator’s work is never finished. Your gift will provide the Conservation Laboratory with the tools and team it needs to stay on the cutting edge of collections care, from works on paper and prints to books, manuscripts, and photographs. Your generosity ensures that the stories embedded in these artifacts remain accessible for future generations.
