Art Directives has a long distinguished history in
helping corporations and institutions determine the value of their collections. In some cases this has never been undertaken by the institution. Many institutions and corporate collections are in dire need of updating insurance valuations.

Quite often, institutions and corporations with a long history may not even be aware of the extent or value of the items they have come to acquire over the years. Art Directives can supply the expertise and personnel to tackle even a large institution's collection.
By documenting and archiving the entire process, we are able to arrive at an up-to-date appraisal for insurance purposes, or possible deacessioning of a collection.

During a move it is advisable to provide the moving company with an updated insurance appraisal.  This will ensure that the collection is properly evaluated and insured against any type of damage that may occur
