The Leather Conservation Centre Was Founded In 1978 To Conserve Historic Leathers And Is A Major International Centre For Leather Conservation, Education And Research.
In 2019 The Leather Conservation Centre relocated to join with the Museum of Leathercraft at the heart of Northampton town centre.
Our new studio has been designed to the highest conservation specifications, and has an environmentally controlled laboratory, object store, and a separate chemical storage and extraction facility.
We are able to accommodate the majority of leather objects within our studio, and if the object cannot be moved for reasons of fragility, insurance or transportation, or because the leather is part of the fabric of the building, the Leather Conservation Centre carries out conservation in situ.
