Preservation Services for Non-Profits
Available to Connecticut non-profits, especially historical societies, museums and libraries.
Free of Charge, we offer our services to help identify, evaluate, advise on appropriate costuming and preservation of your dolls.
In past, our members have repaired muslin and kid bodies, re-set eyes, re-strung loose bodies and, using appropriate materials, re-constructed dolls' costumes for various historical homesteads in Connecticut.

Identification and Evaluation of Private Collections
This is a fee based service to raise money for our charitable purposes.
We prefer to inspect each doll in person. However since this is not always feasible, it can be done via several email photos. For an individual doll the fee is $5.00. For a quote on larger collections please contact us.
