Serving the
mid-size collector —
an underserved market.
The Artchivist is a boutique cataloguing service purpose-built for private collectors with typical holdings of 50 to 200 artworks. We arrive where your art lives, handle every detail from photography to platform delivery, and leave you with a polished, permanent digital archive.
Our clients have accumulated significant holdings across multiple locations — home, vacation property, storage, office — but lack a professionally organised digital record. We bridge that gap with an online record of your artworks, accessible from any location.
Unlike services adapted from museum practice, theArtchivist was designed specifically for private collectors. Every step of our process respects your privacy and delivers a product that is genuinely useful.
Our Clients Typically Have
- ▸ Works held across multiple locations — home, vacation property, storage, and office
- ▸ A mix of purchased and gifted works with varying documentation quality
- ▸ Increasing awareness of insurance, estate planning, and resale needs
- ▸ A preference for privacy, discretion, and white-glove in-home service
- ▸ Collections too large for a spreadsheet, too small for a full-time registrar
