Together, we offer over sixty years’ experience as professional archivists. We have worked in busy Record Offices across the country and bring vast practical knowledge of managing archival material, from huge cataloguing projects to the interpretation of smaller, ‘niche’ collections. Projects undertaken have varied from listing and interpreting medieval deeds to the born-digital archive relating to the reburial of Richard III.
We look forward to helping you with your archival project and welcome enquiries about cataloguing and records management on any scale. We can advise too on caring for your archive material.
Please find below a list of some of the services we can provide.
