Collections Consultation

Our specialty is creating order out of chaos. Lindsey has over two decades of experience working with and consulting for museums, government agencies, businesses, and community organizations that have “a lot of old stuff” but don’t know what to do with it.

Exhibitsmith is excited to announce that our consulting services are expanding to include individuals and personal collections. If your “stuff” feels overwhelming, or if you’re feeling a little lost, this is where Lindsey shines. We work with you to understand your collection, goals, resources, and more, and create a plan and a process that will keep things both enjoyable and achievable.

Key services include:

• Collection assessments so you understand the scope, condition, logistics, & needs of your artifact and/or archival collection.

• Strategic planning and prioritization to set the framework for real, achievable goals.

Does your organization have a lot of “old stuff” but no one on staff knows how to manage it? We would love to help you assess your collection, discuss your goals, and set you on the path to success.

In addition to our standard collections consultation services, Lindsey offers professional training opportunities for staff and volunteers. She will walk you through proper collections care and management techniques, help you understand what policies and procedures you need to follow, work with you to acquire the resources you need, and give you the confidence to keep the momentum going after the training ends.
