Archive & Legacy Projects
Comprehensive digitization for artists, estates, galleries, and institutions.
Work that should outlast the people who made it.
Some archives are a single box of negatives. Others are decades of work across
multiple formats, locations, and storage conditions. Either way, the goal is the
same: a complete, organized, high-fidelity digital record that can be accessed,
shared, and preserved without further handling of the originals.
We handle the full process — assessment, scanning, file organization, metadata,
and delivery — so that the people responsible for an archive can focus on what
comes next: exhibitions, publications, estate management, or simply knowing the
work is safe.

Archive projects are scoped individually. Get in touch with a description of
your materials — format, approximate quantity, condition, and timeline — and
we’ll follow up to discuss next steps.
