Archives
Over the past 25 years I have placed prominent literary and cultural archives with private and institutional clients across the United States. I have worked on numerous archival transactions, from description and valuation to buyer identification, contract negotiation, and placement.
With relationships with dozens of institutions interested in buying historically significant material at a high level, I work diligently to find the right match. In the most successful transactions the seller feels amply compensated both financially and in peace of mind, and the buyer is excited to get to work processing and sharing their new acquisition.
I take pride in all of my archive placements. Mindful of the historical gender gap in purchase prices, I am especially proud of the sums I have realized for my female authors and estates.
