CCI was created in 1972 to promote the proper care and preservation of Canada's cultural heritage, and to advance the practice, science, and technology of conservation. The Institute has worked closely with hundreds of museums, art galleries, academic institutions, heritage organizations and other clients to help them better preserve cultural objects.
With a staff of about 80, the Institute has treated more than 13 000 objects for the heritage community, has published hundreds of scientific papers, and is recognized as a world leader in conservation. The Institute responds to at least 2000 requests for assistance annually.
