A proper record of the whole collection — however large it has grown.
Forty pieces or four hundred: what each one is, what you paid, who you bought it from, and what it is worth now — held in one place, rather than across a spreadsheet, a drawer of invoices and your own memory. From the same record Archivald prints an insurance schedule, a catalogue worth showing, and a memorandum of where each piece is meant to go.
You photograph the room.
What comes out of it
Insurance
A schedule your insurer accepts
Dated valuations per piece, the basis recorded (appraisal, insurance, fair market), and a schedule that names what has never been valued instead of quietly zeroing it.
Provenance
Where it came from, kept with it
The invoice, the certificate, the condition report and the correspondence, filed against the piece — not in a drawer. Drop an invoice in and it fills the record itself.
Standing
Who gets what, written down
A personal property memorandum that records where each piece is meant to go, in language you can hand to an attorney to check against your state.
It isn’t only art
Records, watches, comics, cards, coins, sneakers — each has its own preset, with the fields that category actually needs, and you can define a category of your own. The same photograph, the same record, the same documents at the end of it.
