Estates & legacies
When the collection is an estate — a photographer's archive, a family's century, an institution's holdings — the questions are rarely just technical. There are heirs, wishes, gaps, and sometimes grief.
So we don't start with paperwork. We start with a conversation, and we go at the pace the material asks for.
01
Tell us who's involved and roughly what exists. Nothing binding — just the shape of it.
02
Custody, credit, rights, what stays private, what the family wants remembered. Honestly, including when we're not the right home.
03
Only then does anything get written down — and only the parts everyone agrees to.
We take custody, not ownership of the people inside the pictures. The job is keeping a legacy findable after the person who knew it can't answer the phone anymore.
A person reads every one of these — there's no intake bot here. Tell us as much or as little as you have.
The hardest archives to save are the ones nobody started talking about in time.
