Trusted by conservation teams moving beyond spreadsheets and paper records
Helping Conservators Document, Preserve, and Share Critical Object Knowledge
Many conservation teams still rely on spreadsheets, Word documents, or paper records to document treatments and object condition. When this information is spread across disconnected files, it becomes difficult to maintain accuracy, continuity, and trust. The TMS Suite enables conservators to document treatments in detail, track object condition over time, and connect conservation data with broader collections activity. By centralizing records, the system supports responsible stewardship, improves collaboration, and ensures that conservation knowledge remains accessible and actionable across the institution.
