The Amon Carter Museum of American Art is home to the only museum conservation studio in North Texas specializing in the preservation of photographs and works of art on paper. It is staffed by Fernanda Valverde, Conservator of Photographs, and Jodie Utter, Conservator of Works on Paper.

It allows conservators to perform thorough examination, documentation, and treatment of works of art, as well as conduct preliminary testing of materials used by artists, conservators, and other museum personnel.
