Archive Evaluation and Accession

Heirs to estates everywhere often face difficult decisions about what to do with inherited archives and manuscript collections in languages that have outlived their readers. In the case of German-language materials, the many reforms of type faces and handwriting in the first half of the 20th century complicate matters even further. Whether long distance or on location, we serve as first-line advisors on the preservation, historical evaluation, cataloging and potential accessioning of private archives in the major European languages.
