Maintaining a current inventory – one that includes updated insurance values – is one of the most important aspects of managing a collection – and one that we actively work on with clients. It is a good idea for all collectors to have:
• A centralized record of what is owned and where it is located
• Organized images and supporting materials that are easy to access and update
• Ongoing visibility into the collection as it evolves through acquisitions, condition changes and movements
• Regular review of values, helping ensure appraisals and insurance coverage remain current
• A strong foundation for planning, whether for insurance, estate considerations, or potential sale
We partner with clients to build and maintain digital inventories that bring structure, visibility, and consistency to their collections over time.
It is a practical process – but one that underpins how a collection is understood, managed and preserved over time.
