Services
ForKeeps Inc. provides singular expertise or works collaboratively with your selected agents to resolve issues of access and use.
Archives From The Ground Up
Truth. A collection is not an Archive until it is organized according to established archival best practices and procedures. Our certified Archivists can gather your assorted materials and transition your collection into a bona-fide Archive. Know what you have so you can use it! Let us help with an inceptive arrangement or a re-organization that facilitates better collection access and use.
Archival Research/ Library Reference
That book will not write itself but it practically will when you have the resources you need! Reach out, and let an experienced archivist assist you in either finding a repository with relevant documents or conduct in-depth research on your identified topic. Why waste time searching for materials instead of interpreting content!? Make steady progress with our help!
Event Planning With An Eye On History
You care about and are very proud of your history. In fact, you have accumulated a collection of legacy materials you’d like to share or showcase. Well, don’t just let it sit there! Get additional returns on your investment by using it at your next corporate event. For Keeps Inc. can create and execute plans for any initiative that uses historic materials, stories, and content. Let us help you harness your history for effective use in an upcoming milestone, holiday party, retreat, or social gathering.
