Archives Conservation Lab (ACL) conserves archival records in paper medium of the National Archives of Singapore and applies various treatments and processes such as anoxic treatment, de-acidification, leafcasting, mechanical cleaning, manual repair, tissue mounting, encapsulation and book binding using archival materials and methods.

ACL obtained the ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2003, and subsequently ISO 9001-2008 in 2009.

 
   

 

The ACL conserves archival materials such as architectural drawings, maps, building plans and rare books. Before carrying out any treatment, each record is carefully examined to assess its physical condition and the choice of treatment(s) required.
