What a family archive can do
Every Collect & Catalog archive is a private website built around your collection. These are the features visitors use — shown in a working demo, The Smith Family Art Collection, built from sample works we've digitized.
Search & Filters
Find any piece by artist, title, medium, or subject; narrow by location, type, or year range; sort however you think about the collection.
Artist Index
A second view of the collection organized by artist — biographies, work counts, and one tap to see everything by a single hand.
Full Catalog Records
Every work opens into its complete record: date, medium, dimensions, location, gallery, and provenance — the paper catalog, made live.
Multi-Angle Images
Works are photographed from several angles — front, verso, details, signatures — and every view is browsable inside the record.
Recorded Stories
Audio notes attached to individual works, so the family's voice stays with the object it belongs to. Hear one below.
Private by Default
Archives publish behind a password, shared only with the people you choose — reachable from any device, invisible to everyone else.
Yours to Keep
The site is a window; the archive is the asset. Families receive every image, record, and recording, independent of the website.
Listen
The story behind “Mountain Man”
From the Smith Family demo catalog: press play and hear the sculpture's history told in a family member's own voice. Every archive can carry recordings like this one, attached to the works they belong to.
Recorded by a member of the collecting family.
