How do I find appraisers to tell me the value of something I own or conservators to repair something that is damaged? 

The websites of the Appraisers Association of America, the American Society of Appraisers, the International Society of Appraisers, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association, and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers may assist you in locating a qualified appraiser.

Information on conservators is available from the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. The New England Document Conservation Center has advice on choosing and working with a conservator.
