EVALUATION OF TWO ARCHIVE DONATIONS FOR A NATIONAL INSTITUTION IN AUSTRALIA

In the past few months we were engaged to assess and evaluate two archives of high-profile individuals. It was an intimate task, reading personal letters to friends, family members and business associates as well as viewing photographs and other memorabilia. This process offers the examiner or archivist an exclusive insight into a person's life, becoming privy to their relationships with different individuals, their work and legacy …. getting to know them on a very intense personal level. ©Renée Pfister Art & Gallery Consultancy, London, 2019.
