We work with a range of photographic and paper-based materials, including: • Photographs (loose prints and albums) • Letters and correspondence • Personal and family documents • Estate and legacy materials • Selected institutional records Each collection is approached with care and adapted to its specific condition, context, and history.

Adam Archival works with: • Families preserving personal and shared histories • Estates managing multi-generational collections • Institutions requiring structured archival support Each engagement is approached with discretion and tailored to the nature of the collection.

No. While many projects begin with photographs, we also work with documents and other paper-based materials that form part of a broader archive. This may include letters, certificates, records, and other historically significant materials.

The process typically includes: • Assessment and sorting of materials • Digitization (scanning) • Organization into a structured archive • Optional image restoration for selected materials • Rehousing of originals into a new archive or archival storage The scope is adapted depending on the collection and requirements.

We use archival-grade materials designed for long-term preservation, including acid-free and lignin-free storage solutions. Where appropriate, materials are sourced from established suppliers such as Gaylord Archival,(www.gaylordarchival.com) Talas,(https://www.talasonline.com/) University Products,(https://www.universityproducts.com/) and Goppion.(https://www.goppion.com/)

Yes. Clients receive a structured digital archive, typically delivered via secure cloud access and/or physical storage (such as a thumb drive), depending on preference.

Yes. All original photographs and documents are returned after the archival process, unless otherwise agreed. Where included, materials may also be reorganized into new archival albums or storage systems.

Yes. We work with collections of varying sizes, including multi-album family archives, estate collections, and structured institutional materials. Scope and timelines are discussed during the initial consultation.

Timelines vary depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the collection. Smaller collections may take a few weeks, while larger archives typically take several months to complete.

All projects begin with a private consultation. This allows us to understand the scope of the collection and recommend an appropriate approach.
