Need a hand?

Whether you need provenance traced, something specific found, or boots on the ground—let's talk.

◈

Provenance

Every object has a history. I trace it through archives, auction records, and ownership chains—uncovering the story behind each piece.

Retrieval

Finding specific pieces means working professionally through online investigation, dealer networks and private collections.

Field Investigation

Some questions require showing up. Municipal archives, private collections, sites that need eyes on the ground.

Case Studies

Recent jobs—what was found, how I tracked it down, and what it took to get there.

Tracing a Lost Technical Work

Archival and bibliographic research that identified and recovered a bound 1958 technical report by A. R. Galanides once remembered as a "book on fuses".
