Services:

Founded on the best practices for the safe handling of museum objects, this work creates space to reflect on and compare methods across institutions—framing care not merely as a technical skill, but as a culturally informed responsibility.

While In Her Hands is committed to supporting all cultural spaces, it specializes in the protection and stewardship of Black American art, cultural objects, and histories. This focus underscores the importance of care rooted in sensitivity, accountability, and respect for the communities these collections represent. As professionals, we are culturally informed and ethically committed to caring for every object we move.
