Art & Document Preservation Specialist

I am seeking an experienced archival consultant, museum curator, or rare collectibles specialist to evaluate, document, and advise on one of the most unusual private collections of comic art, literary history, and illustration memorabilia assembled over many years.

The collection includes unique and extremely scarce material related to:

Bill Watterson and Calvin and Hobbes
Early school newspapers and yearbooks containing Watterson's original artwork
Rare promotional and museum items, including San Francisco Museum of Modern Art prints
Original signed artwork and rare ephemera
Significant J. K. Rowling / Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone material, including rare Pegasus journals and first editions
Original artwork by Maurice Sendak
Additional rare comic, illustration, and publishing artifacts

I am looking for someone who can assist with:

Museum-quality preservation recommendations
Market and insurance valuation guidance
Long-term collection strategy (private collection, exhibition, donation, or auction)

Experience working with museums, major auction houses, universities, or institutional archives is strongly preferred.

Confidentiality is important.
