About Northeast document conservation center
The Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) is a leading organization that specializes in the preservation and conservation of paper-based collections, including works of art, photographs, books, documents, maps, and manuscripts. With over 40 years of experience in the field of conservation and digitization services, NEDCC has established itself as a trusted partner for institutions and individuals seeking to preserve their valuable collections.
At NEDCC, we understand the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations. Our team of highly skilled conservators uses state-of-the-art techniques to treat and stabilize fragile materials such as paper or parchment. We employ a range of methods including humidification treatments to relax creases or folds in paper; mending tears with Japanese tissue; washing papers with deionized water; flattening documents under controlled pressure; and encapsulating fragile items in polyester film.
In addition to our conservation services, we also offer digitization services that allow clients to access their collections online. Our digital imaging specialists use high-resolution cameras to capture images that are faithful reproductions of original materials. We can create digital surrogates for all types of materials including bound volumes such as books or ledgers; flat items like photographs or prints; oversized objects like maps or posters; three-dimensional objects like sculptures or artifacts.
Our audio preservation services are another area where we excel. We have extensive experience working with rare recordings on magnetic tape (reel-to-reel), digital audio tape (DAT), lacquer discs (acetate), wax cylinders (phonograph records). Our team can transfer these recordings onto modern media formats such as CDs or MP3s while preserving the original sound quality.
