    Hello,

    Can anyone recommend a place in Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Iowa, that does book conservation, specifically restitching?

    Thank you,

    Hi Jason-

    A useful tool to locate conservators is the AIC Find a Conservator that can be found here: https://www.culturalheritage.org/about-conservation/find-a-conservator

    Also if anyone has any resources feel free to pass along to Jason, but any name posted in the forum is not endorsed by the C2C Care program and posted just for information purposes. Good luck!

    Hi all-

    Just a quick note that some aspects of the Find A Conservator tool don't appear to be working and is only pulling some of the relevant search results right now. AIC is working on an updated version - so until then appreciate any personal recommendations passed along here in this thread and once the tool is back to full power again will be sure to let everyone know. Thanks again.

    If you are willing to expand your search radius, in St. Louis there is book conservator Noah Smutz. You can see examples of his services at www.nsconservation.com.
