Lynn Campbell is a Fine Art paper conservator who works in Christchurch, New Zealand. She obtained a B.A. Honours in Fine Art and a Post Graduate Certificate in Fine Art Conservation, coming from and training in the UK.

She has worked at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh and tutored on the M.A. conservation course at Northumbria University. Lynn has also worked in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, East Africa and was one of the first conservators to go to Antarctica to travel to and work on the historic huts in the Ross Dependency as part of the New Zealand Antarctic programme.

After arriving in 1986 to work at the Robert McDougall Art Gallery conserving works on paper Lynn soon realized that there was a need for more preventive conservation protocols and procedures to inhibit deterioration to many collections in New Zealand. In 1987 she started the Canterbury Disaster Salvage Team to help cultural institutions out in the event of a disaster.

Projects include:

remedial conservation on all types of paper media,
conservation surveys of collections,
care of collection training workshops,
risk mitigation and collection environment surveys,
disaster planning and integrated pest management protocols for museums, art galleries archives, libraries and private individuals.

As a full member of the New Zealand Conservators of Cultural Material group Lynn adheres to its code of ethics.
