Conservatio

Conservatio is a professional conservation documentation platform for cultural heritage. It replaces Word templates, scattered photos, and manual reporting with structured, searchable, offline-ready documentation that exports to beautiful PDF reports.

Built for private conservators, small museums, galleries, churches, archaeological teams, and heritage authorities.

What Conservatio Does

Condition Reports. Structured damage checklists, controlled vocabulary, condition ratings, and annotated photos. Export professional branded PDFs in multiple languages.

Object Management. Register conservation objects with type, materials, dimensions, photos, location, and ownership. Track the full lifecycle from acquisition to restoration.

Project Tracking. Organize objects, reports, and clients into projects. Track status, timelines, budgets, and treatment progress.

Image Annotation. Mark cracks, paint loss, corrosion, and other damage directly on photos. Each annotation links to damage type, severity, and notes.

Offline-First. Works in churches, basements, excavation sites, and anywhere without signal. Everything syncs when you reconnect.

Self-Hosted. Your conservation data stays on your own hardware. No cloud dependency. Runs on a Raspberry Pi.

Who Is This For

• Private conservators who spend too much time formatting Word documents
• Small museums that need affordable collection and conservation management
• Churches and heritage sites that lack structured inventory and maintenance records
• Galleries and collectors that need condition reports for loans, insurance, and transport
• Archaeological teams that document under pressure in the field with unstable connectivity
