I have been keeping stats for all the work I have done separated into levels that the work would fall into and the repair type. I started this because my boss set a good example of keeping statistics and I wanted to know how many things I have worked on. These stats are for treatments that I personally have completed.

The majority of work I do is for General Collections and I don’t get to generate treatment reports for the items and as such don’t add them to the prettier more conservation minded work.
