Sometimes bringing in specific expertise, a new perspective, or an additional set of hands can make all the difference. Put my experience to use. Working in museums and archives for over 30 years, I developed skill managing historical collections; creating exhibits; working with donors and users; and advocating for emerging best practices. Now as an independent contractor, I advise organizations, municipalities, and families, manage and implement projects, provide training, and more. Please reach out when you and your institution seek to:

• assess cultural heritage, institutional, or personal collections

• solve collection management conundrums

• plan storage spaces and environments

• create public access strategies

• design community centered exhibits

• engage collection donors

Please call or email to explore possibilities. I’d be glad to talk through a potential project and provide initial guidance.
