The conservation department of The Finnish Museum of Photography is responsible for the maintenance and preservation of the museum’s collections, and for photographing items in the collections. The department also checks incoming and outgoing exhibition works for damages before and after shipment.
One of the goals of the conservation department is to produce guidelines on how to manage museum collections. The guidelines cover, for example, the handling, cataloging and conservation of collections.
