Looking to find a conservator/restorer for an old family quilt

Apologies if this type of post is not allowed. I inherited a quilt from my grandmother's family and some of the fabric is degrading. I'm not in any way skilled enough to try to DIY the repairs. I'm looking to find a conservator/restorer who can get the thing into shape to be hung again without (too much) further disintegrating. My local (San Diego) quilt guilt seems to focus mainly on modern quilting and I'm not sure how to find someone who would specialize in older fabrics. I realize this is likely to be expensive. Anyone know of a directory for conservators or antique specialists?

This lock lay at the bottom of a lake for maybe more than 50 years until a diver found it. I restored it and tried to conserve the story of the lock, inspired by the japanese kintsugi. Added explanations about the process in the subtitles [19:23min] youtube.com/watch?v=olEgm…

Rt Hon Alistair Burt: As I’ve indicated, though I don’t agree with elements of JRM politics, I’ve always found him personally courteous, but these remarks echo an English nationalist disaster for a party of union. The Conservative Party has more to do to restore itself than simply focus on No 10. twitter.com/AlistairBurtU…

How necessary is organic chemistry for environmental restoration/conservation?

Currently going to school for environmental science and I plan on going to grad school and getting a career in marine conservation. Organic chemistry is needed to complete my undergrad degree but I’m very nervous to take it because I hear how difficult it is. Will I ever utilize it again if I’m going into restoration/conservation work? Thanks in advance!

Conservation and Restoration MA

Hello everyone,

I hope I can find some answers here! I am currently doing my BA in English Literature with a minor in Art History in Groningen. Soon I have to start looking around for masters, I am not sure which route to go for. I am obviously torn, as there are multiple options out there relating to Literature, but one of the things which I seem to have a lot of interest in is Conservation and Restoration MA program at University of Amsterdam.

I found the course rather interesting but I am wondering if I would have the background knowledge. I am obviously in touch with the university and asking all the questions I need answers too, but if anyone knows or has done this program, I would absolutely love to get in touch with you to ask you a few questions.

Thank you everyone x
