Sam B Suarez
Principal / Collections Manager at Point of Record

About

I am an independent museum professional with 13 years of experience specializing in collections management and registration. I am also a member of the International Society of Appraisers, with a specialization in Fine Art, Antiques, Decorative Arts and Collectibles.

I have contributed to more than 63 exhibitions across multiple institutions, collaborating closely with curators, conservators, photographers, preparators, designers, donors, collectors, lenders, and artists. My work has also involved partnerships with municipal, county, and federal agencies, as well as universities, private collectors, and artist studios.

Highly detail-oriented and well-versed in current museum practices and professional standards, I provide consulting services that include inventory management, condition reporting, object photography, loan and exhibition coordination, and policy and procedure development. I also offer courier and valuation services for fine art, antiques, antiquities, decorative arts, collectibles, and ephemera.

Additional services include professional assessments of collections storage, facilities, and integrated pest management programs.

I work in California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and Minnesota.
