• Preventive conservation
• Restoration
• Data processing center (DPC)
• Photographic documentation techniques, such as focus stacking, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), and photogrammetry
• Diagnostics, using cutting-edge techniques such as X-ray radiography, computed tomography (external to the Center, but present at other institutions), ultraviolet-induced fluorescence, infrared spectroscopy, stereomicroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy
