Conservators & restorers

Make treatment part of the permanent record

A work's condition history is part of its provenance, yet treatment records are the first thing to get lost between owners. Attesian lets a conservation or restoration event be recorded as part of a work's permanent, append-only history.

Because events can be confirmed from both sides, a treatment you carried out can be attested by you and the owner together — turning your report from a loose document into a corroborated entry that stays with the work.

Treatments that don't get lost

A conservation event lives in the work's append-only history, so a future owner or specialist sees what was done rather than guessing.

Two-sided attestation

You and the owner can each confirm the work took place, which records the treatment at the highest trust tier instead of as a one-sided note.

Credit that follows your work

Your contribution is attributed to you permanently, building a visible track record across the pieces you've cared for.

Questions

Can a treatment record ever be edited or removed later?
No. History is only added to. If something needs correcting, a visible new entry is added — the original record and its context are never quietly overwritten.
