Private Collectors

Private collectors require the same rigour of care as institutional collections — without the institutional infrastructure. We provide independent advice on collection care, acquisition, risk and long-term stewardship for individuals who take their collections seriously.

Sector Context

Private collections are among the most vulnerable heritage assets. They are often assembled with great care and significant investment, but without the conservation science, storage infrastructure or institutional knowledge that public collections take for granted.

Endangered Heritage works with private collectors to understand what they hold, what condition it is in, and what is required to preserve it. Our advice is independent, practical and calibrated to what a private collector can actually sustain over the long term.

Working with institutions in Private Collectors?

We advise institutions that have chosen to take their cultural continuity responsibilities seriously. If that describes your situation, we would welcome a conversation.
