Margaux Ancel

I provide collections management services as a consultant. Please reach out with any questions and proposals through the Contact tab.

This work is particularly close to my heart, as most of my clients typically look for the means to make their collections publicly accessible to increase the understanding and appreciation of local artists.

I have worked on several projects:

The Delamar Hotel Collection. I catalogued all artworks from their collections at the Greenwich and Southport Delamar Hotels.

The Mel Someroski Collection. I inventoried, photographed, and research all pieces, before publishing them online on the website linked.

The Ballard Institute & Museum of Puppetry Collection. I developed a new inventory system to best management the museum’s extensive collection of puppets and costumes. Together with the Manager of Collections and Operations, we trained several student interns to continue the work and upload everything in the museum’s database system.

The life work of Garth Evans. I work with the artist to catalogue his entire life’s work and make it accessible on his website to be used for future academic research and sales.

I have also gathered metadata for the Benton Museum of Art’s permanent collection, and published all information and resources to this site to increase accessibility to the museum’s collections for students.
