                                                     Conservation Facility






The DCR currently operates two facilities dedicated to the conservation of artifacts retrieved from underwater environments. The primary facility is located on the property of Fort Fisher State Historic Site in Kure Beach, North Carolina. It currently consists of a 1,200-square-foot laboratory and a 1,500-square-foot open-air pavilion used to store and conserve large artifacts. Offices and support are provided in adjacent buildings occupied by the UAU. Most conservation procedures, artifact analyses, and storage of finished artifacts take place in the laboratory. Space has always been a limiting factor, however, and the Fort Fisher laboratory has proven to be inadequate for processing large collections such as would be recovered from Queen Anne's Revenge.

A second facility is operated by the NCMM in Beaufort, North Carolina. This 1,500-square-foot building has provided much-needed space for the wet storage, analysis, and illustration of artifacts. The Friends of the Museum, North Carolina Maritime Museum, Inc. are currently expanding this facility by constructing a 2,700-square-foot conservation outdoor pavilion. Artifact conservation, however, has been limited because of the lack of staff. With additional equipment and staffing, this building could become a viable conservation facility. The Office of State Archaeology's Lane Street Center in Raleigh and East Carolina University's lab in Greenville may also be used to treat and store artifacts.
