A bespoke plan for your unique collection.
A family collection can span decades, generations and both sides of a family - photographs, albums, negatives, slides, digital files, memorabilia and inherited material gathered over a lifetime, sometimes several.
When everything has accumulated in different places, it becomes difficult to see the collection as a whole, let alone know what deserves attention first.
I designed the Collection Assessment to provide that wider view - to understand what you have, identify what matters most, and establish a clear direction for what comes next.
The first step is understanding the collection.
The Collection Assessment takes place in your home, where we set aside dedicated time to look at the collection as a whole - what you have, where it is held, its condition, the stories and information around it, and what matters most to you.
There is no need to count everything, organise anything beforehand or decide which services you need. This is the opportunity to step back, understand the collection properly and establish what should happen next.
See the collection as a whole.
I look across your physical and digital photographs, albums, slides, negatives, family papers and other material, noting what you have, where it lives and anything that may need particular attention.
Decide what matters most.
Together, we identify what is most important to you, what needs attention now, what can wait and what you would ultimately like the collection to become.
Leave with a clear way forward.
Following the Assessment, you receive a detailed inventory of your collection and a comprehensive, phased Photo Management Plan aligned to your goals — setting out what I recommend, in what order, and which services may be most useful.
