About Us

McGannon Studios was established by Patrick McGannon in the Atlanta area over ten years ago and offers complete museum quality conservation and restoration of paper artifacts. The wide array of works on paper that can be preserved include prints, drawings, watercolors, maps, pastels, historical and personal documents and paper memorabilia. Combining art and science, the conservators at McGannon Studios use our unique experience in paper conservation to preserve the history and beauty of all paper artifacts. Our clients include galleries, museums and private collectors nationwide. Please see the treatments page for images of artifacts that we have successfully treated and brought back to life.

Since the cost of treatments depends on the treatments required, an artifact must be examined before an estimate of treatment costs can be given. We do not charge for estimates. Artifacts that are presented for conservation are examined and tests will be made on all components if any treatment involving water or solvents is contemplated. We provide a written proposal with recommended treatments and cost estimates. All treatment options will be explained and their implications discussed. Please call to make an appointment to have your artifact examined at no cost.
