SAS can help you move mountains.

Studio Archive Services (SAS) is dedicated to bridging traditional archival methods, curatorial practices, and digital tools as a way to help clients organize their records and to introduce artwork, ephemera, or historical documents to new audiences. The SAS methodology is concerned with the entire life cycle of records. SAS not only provides organizational and preservation expertise, but also considers the way in which content can be accessed, interpreted, and re-interpreted for the future.
Establishing an archive is like contributing to a savings fund; as interest (metadata) accrues, the investment generates a greater return over time. The first step to benefiting from the return of an organized archive is to create a system and commit to implementing it. With meticulous attention to detail and experience with a wide range of digital tools available to you, SAS can bring relief to artists, collectors, businesses, and creative individuals that find it difficult to make time for the arduous task of maintaining an archive. |
