Institutions

You steward a collection that belongs to the institution, and to the public it serves. Title helps you know everything you hold, prove what it gives back, and present it with the authority it deserves, with one team from the first conversation to the report.

  • Engaged by institutions across the academic, corporate, and public sectors
  • Records assessed against Library of Congress and Getty Object ID standards
  • Impact reporting mapped to GRI, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, WELL, and BOMA BEST

Works known to exist with no record. Records inventoried but never described. A loan policy that covers a fraction of the value on the walls.

And a collection that already earns credit under the frameworks you report to, that nobody has claimed. "We had no idea our collection counted for any of this." Nobody was ever trained to look.

You know what you have. Now you can show what you have.

One door, three layers, and one team from the first call to the report.

Start with one collection challenge
  1. 01

    Know what you hold

    We assess a representative sample of your records against Library of Congress inventory control and Getty Object ID description. You get a report you can circulate: gaps by segment, a cataloguing plan, a target schema. Then a twelve-month working trial of Steward, then Steward as your collection management system. You no longer hold works that exist with no record.

    Show what it gives back

    The Social Impact Report maps the collection to the frameworks you already report to: GRI, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, WELL, and BOMA BEST. No new spend; the asset is already owned. Title sells no art and lends none, so the reporting stays independent. Delivered as a report your sustainability lead can file. You no longer leave the credit you already earn unclaimed.

    Present it

    A digital showroom: the collection, the collector's story, every work with its provenance, a curator contact, and a view of who visited. Password-gated or public. You no longer need an exhibition to show the collection.

The people who answer for the collection.

Three kinds of institution, one standard. The records hold up, the value is defensible, and the reporting stays independent, whichever collection you keep.

A conversation about what your institution needs
  1. 01

    Museums

    Records to standard, item by item, and the works you lend most valued first, so the policy covers the loan instead of a per-loan top-up on a hand-sourced number.

  2. 02

    University collections

    A collection that grew by gift and by decade, catalogued to a target schema, on a system your registrar and your faculty can both use. A working trial before any commitment.

  3. 03

    Corporate collections

    The collection on the balance sheet and in the sustainability report, with a register the auditor and the insurer can rely on, and a showroom for the people who walk past it every day.

Why our valuations are different.

The works you lend most, valued first, so the policy covers the loan. Here is how we make every valuation defensible.

How valuation works
  • Due diligence on every appraiser before you hear their name. Ten points, recorded with who reviewed them and when.
  • The right specialist for the piece, not a generalist for the collection.
  • The work briefed, coordinated, chased, and reviewed against the standard it must meet, by our team, before it reaches you.
