Collection Surveys & Object Examinations
On-site visits and surveys are often needed to assess a collection’s condition, storage and future storage needs. Collection surveys are both general, discussing the collection as a whole or can include specific detailed information, as an item-by-item objects examination of a collection or type of artifact.
Collection Storage Assessment & Design
Custom design for your collection storage area to best fit
your needs and space. Proper design is essential for
long-term preservation and ease of access of the
collection. It is best to have a collection survey done
before designing your collection storage. Energies spent
with storage improvements are the most economical use of
funds for preservation.
