Digital imaging of
your collection is essential. We do on-the-spot digital imaging for
documentation, inventory control, and insurance.
How to display the
work to its best effect while maintaining the highest degree of
environmental protection is often easily remedied. Only quality frames
and archival products are used so that your photographs are protected
from environmental hazards while the frames add to their visual and
monetary value. With the correct light levels illuminating your
photographs, you will be able to enjoy looking at them for many years,
safe in the knowledge that they are adequately protected. Very often
this is achieved by simply replacing your current glass with UV glass.
We measure light levels, temperature and humidity in your home or office
in order to establish the safest areas
Acidic mat board
used by framers or improper plastic storage sleeves can discolor not
only the photograph it is in contact with, but its neighbors as well.
We can alleviate any environmental threat to your collection by
assessing the situation and making sure that problems will not occur.
This is often achieved by simply removing the culprit backing or
replacing the protective sleeve. All storage conditions are assessed
including humidity, temperature and light levels as well as the
containers in which the photographs are kept.
Since 1985, we have been actively up-grading collections for museums,
private collectors and corporate collections. The auction houses are
well acquainted with us and we maintain an excellent working
relationship with them. We work with many of the best galleries, museums
and private collections internationally, offering a wide scope to
acquire photographs or de-acquisition holdings.
