Preservation

Some items require special consideration and handling.

I will customize a plan of care for your heirloom object(s), taking into consideration the specific requirements of the item and of your storage situation. Once you’ve approved, I will create the appropriate solution, whether that be making archival boxes to hold your child’s first pair of baby shoes or a treasured family Bible, sewing garment bags to safely house your grandmother’s collection of vintage dresses, or using chemically-stable materials to properly store your collection of uranium glassware.

Whatever your object or collection, they will be secured so they can be enjoyed for posterity!

Prices start at $85.

An heirloom is any object that holds special value to you.

Traditionally, heirlooms are seen as valuable possessions passed down from one generation to the next. Their value lies in the connection they evoke; they are the placeholder of memory.

Heirlooms represent parts of our family history; their presence brings to life the stories of our ancestors, told to each generation, linking us through time. Or they remind us of our own history; the story of how we came to possess those items, why they are so important to us, and why it’s important to save them.
