Keewatin Archive Services

Description

When faced with boxes of old, treasured photographs or family letters, most people are unaware of the need for proper handling of these often fragile artefacts. If not taken care of, these personal archives can deteriorate and, ultimately, require costly conservation or result in irreparable damage or loss. Small institutions, with rich legacies of documents, press clippings, photographs and audio-visual materials, often lack the expertise and resources to preserve and catalogue their archival history. Even if they know the value of proper preservation, the idea of sorting through boxes of archival material to assign some sense of order is overwhelming for most people. You need an archives consultant. We offer a wide range of services to assist individuals, small institutions and those who want to preserve their family heritage. With our archiving services, you will be able to: - locate a specific document or photograph within minutes - replace boxes of unlabelled pictures with neatly labelled photo albums, folders or organizers containing properly preserved family photos - assign an accurate value to your family letters or institutional records With a thirty-year career as an information specialist and archivist at Toronto's Upper Canada College, archivist Marian Spence can help you accomplish all of this and more.
