Why Professional Cataloging Matters

  • Know What It's Worth

    Without clear records, it's hard to know what you really have. Our cataloguing service brings structure to your collection, capturing the details needed to understand its true financial and historical value. Whether you're planning for insurance, curious about resale, or just want peace of mind, we help reveal the worth behind every piece.

  • Enjoy What You Own

    Turn your collection into something you can truly engage with. Our digital archives make it easy to browse, search, and rediscover your works—complete with high-resolution images, artist info, and backstories that bring your collection to life.

  • Protect Your Legacy

    Whether you’re preparing for the future or managing a family estate, professional cataloguing ensures your collection is protected, documented, and ready for whatever comes next. From inheritance and insurance to donation or sale, we create the records that keep your legacy secure and your wishes clear.

Our Process

  • We begin with a friendly call to understand your goals, answer any questions, and gather general information about your collection and needs.

  • Next, we visit your space to assess accessibility, handling requirements, and the scope of your collection. This helps us plan effectively and provide a quote.

  • Based on your collection and requirements, we provide a clear, tailored quote outlining the scope of work and any optional services.

  • Once confirmed, we return on-site to begin the digital cataloguing process. We capture each piece with high-resolution photography and gather key details for your records.

  • We upload your collection into an easy-to-use online cataloguing system, including item names, descriptions, and rough market estimates where appropriate.

  • We walk you through your new digital archive, showing you how to navigate and maintain it. If you’d like deeper insights—such as formal valuations, appraisals, or help with selling—we can connect you with trusted experts.
