Info

What we do


Our team documents each piece in your collection, gathers relevant information (artist, medium, dimensions, provenance), and compiles it into an organized digital archive. We also provide highquality photographs suitable for insurance or publication.


MATERIALS


We use professional photography equipment, calibrated lighting, and archival-safe handling materials to ensure accurate color representation and prevent damage. Data is stored in secure, redundant systems with optional cloud access.


OUR approach


We work discreetly and efficiently onsite or offsite depending on your preference. After cataloguing, you receive a digital inventory with highresolution images, and we train you (or your staff) on how to maintain and update the archive. Our goal is to create a comprehensive record that preserves the collections history and simplifies future management.
