hericare serves the proper documentation of preservation projects and offers easy worldwide access to practical and up-to-date information from all lines of specialization in the field of conservation-restoration. hericare's online database provides the data and information on the projects: A variety of features help to search the reports. By way of hericare's documentation software, the preservation projects can be documented on the user's local PC or online. Among other features to facilitate the input, a conversion tool allows the user to continue working on the documentation in his own text processing program (MS Word).
