WCCFA provides museum-standards conservation examination and treatment for works of art. Each conservation treatment is thoroughly documented with photographs and written reports, and is carried out using only approved museum-standards materials and methods.

Philosophy
Conservation of historic and artistic works is a pursuit requiring extensive training and special aptitudes. It places in the hands of the conservator cultural holdings, which are of great value and historical significance. To be worthy of this special trust requires a high sense of moral responsibility. The conservator has obligations not only to the historic and artistic works with which he is entrusted, but also to the owners or custodians, to his colleagues and trainees, to his profession, to the public and to posterity.
