It depends on your needs and your archive. Our team of archivists can usually complete a collections assessment within two to three months. Larger organization and cataloging projects can take years. Factors that influence the duration of larger projects includeyour goals and the size of your archive. We do our best to plan a tailored project approach that will meet your timeline constrictions through our flexible staffing and team sizes.

We work with organizations of all sizes and in all stages of archival maturity, regardless of whether they are a company, a governmental organization, a non-profit, or an institution. We do our best to plan a tailored project approach that will meet your organization’s specific needs and constraints.

While HAI is not a grant-making organization, our archivists can help you apply for public and private grant opportunities. Past clients who have incorporated a project approach from HAI in their grant applications have often been successful. Reach out to us to schedule an introductory call at no cost.

An archive is a collection of paper and electronic records that are important enough to keep long-term. Museum collections management refers to collections of three-dimensional objects like memorabilia, artwork, or artifacts. Records management pertains to documents that are still being actively used. HAI’s team combines all three of these specialties to provide high-quality services for projects that may contain all three.
