Curation Philosophy
Systematic Organization
We believe that effective collection management requires systematic approaches combined with attention to individual collection characteristics. Each project receives customized treatment based on specific needs and goals.
Our methods emphasize documentation, preservation, and accessibility. These principles guide all aspects of our work, from initial assessment through final organization.
The goal is to create sustainable organizational systems that collectors can maintain independently while preserving the integrity and character of their collections.
Areas of Focus
Record Cataloging
Detailed documentation of vinyl records including pressing information, condition assessment, and organizational categorization. We work with various genres and eras.
Preservation Guidance
Advice on storage conditions, handling procedures, and maintenance routines. Recommendations are based on established archival practices.
Sourcing Assistance
Connections to specialized dealers and access to information about rare items. We help collectors locate specific records and evaluate potential acquisitions.
Working Methodology
Assessment and Planning
Every project begins with comprehensive assessment of existing collections. We document current organization, identify significant items, and understand collector preferences.
Implementation
Systematic organization follows established plans. Work proceeds methodically to ensure accuracy and maintain collection integrity throughout the process.
Documentation
Complete documentation is created during organization, including digital records and physical labeling systems. This documentation supports ongoing collection management.
Core Values
Accuracy
Precise documentation and careful handling ensure that collection information remains reliable and items are preserved properly.
Respect
We recognize that collections represent personal interests and cultural significance. Our approach honors these aspects while improving organization.
Sustainability
Organizational systems are designed for long-term use. Collectors receive guidance on maintaining systems independently after project completion.
