Document Strategis & Archival Development
This work is about cultural memory. About what is kept, what is lost,and who gets to decide your story. I build and support archives that are not only organized, but alive, accessible, and rooted in community.
There is no need to have everything figured out. We can begin with what you have.
An Archive is Protection.
An Archive is Memory.
An Archive is Power.

Archival doumentation strategy
This work is about creating a clear, intentional plan for how your archive will be built,
structured, and carried forward. Not every archive begins with organization.
Some begin with vision. I develop custom documentation strategies that help you understand what you have, what you need, and how to move forward in a way that aligns with your goals, your values, and your capacity.
This work is for:
• Activists and movement leaders
• Artists, creatives, and cultural workers
• Small businesses and community organizations
• Families preserving lineage and oral history
Each strategy is tailored to your specific materials and may include:
• Collection design
• Oral history plan
• File structure and naming systems
• Digitization guidance
• Metadata recommendations
• Preservation workflows
• Archive ethics consultation
• Future repository planning
This process creates a foundation one that allows your archive to grow with intention, clarity, and care.

Donor Relations & Institutional Placement
Not all archives stay personal.
Some collections are meant to live within institutions universities, libraries, and museums where they can be preserved, accessed, and studied over time.
But that process can be confusing, overwhelming, and at times extractive.
I support individuals, families, and communities in navigating this process with clarity, intention, and care.
I help you:
• Understand what it means to place your archive within an institution
• Evaluate institutional interest and requests
• Prepare your collection for potential donation or acquisition
• Develop a clear narrative around your materials and their significance
• Ask the right questions before entering into agreements
• Ensure your story is represented accurately and on your terms
I also work with institutions to:
• Identify and connect with potential collections and communities
• Support ethical relationship-building and trust-based outreach
• Develop approaches to donor relations that are grounded in respect and reciprocity
Not every archive belongs in an institution. And when it does, it should enter that space with intention, clarity, and respect.
This work is about more than placement.
It is about protecting the integrity of your story while expanding its reach.
If funds are available, no one is turned away.
