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 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
- A Social Impact Report your sustainability team can use for its own ESG metrics
The works you lend are documented, but only when a loan forces it. The exposure is the volume nobody catalogs: the rest of the collection, with no record and no current value.
A loan policy covers a fraction of the value on the walls. And what the collection could show your sustainability team stays out of sight. 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.

Know what you hold
We assess a 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 turns the collection record into data your sustainability team can use for its own ESG metrics. It presents strengths and gaps. Where a certification question or reporting disclosure asks for evidence about art, the report supplies it in that item's own terms; your verifier or accountant decides what counts. A one-page summary lets you share it publicly. Title increases the visibility of your commitment to culture. You no longer hold a collection your sustainability team cannot see.

Present it
A digital showroom: the collection, the collector's story, a bilingual web page for each work, a curator contact if you name one, and visit counts. Public or private. 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.

Museums
Records to standard, item by item, and the works you lend most valued first, so the policy covers the loan, not a per-loan top-up on a hand-sourced number.
- 02
University collections
A collection that grew by gift and by decade, catalogued to a target schema, on a system your registrar and faculty can both use. A working trial before any commitment.
- 03
Corporate collections
The collection on the balance sheet and, where you choose, in your sustainability report, with a register the auditor and the insurer can rely on, and a showroom for the people who walk past it.
Why our valuations are different.
The works you lend most, valued first, so the policy covers the loan.
How valuation works →- Due diligence on every appraiser before you hear their name. Ten points, on the record.
- The right specialist for the piece, not a generalist for the collection.
- The work briefed, coordinated, and reviewed against the standard it must meet, by our team.
