Hello! I'm Kathryn Wright, the owner and conservator.

I'm also working solo, so you'll always interact with me directly.

Private Clients

I repair cherished heirloom books, including Bibles, cookbooks, and vintage children's books.

Most of my clients are out of state and ship to me. I have an easy, fillable PDF contract and packing/shipping instructions that I send via email.

Local clients can sign paperwork at a drop-off appointment.

Work typically ranges from $400-$2000+.

Institutional Clients

I also provide conservation treatment services for museums and special collections/archives, including appropriate written and photo documentation.

Unfortunately, I am unable to submit bids for federally funded projects.
