Kinsley is a specialty consultant focused on personal archives, libraries,
and collections. In addition to organizing, preserving, and presenting
individual collections, Kinsley also helps owners sell antiques, works
of art, and books they no longer need.
Although located in Tubac (the
first European settlement in what is now Arizona), I am able to meet
prospective clients wherever they are located.
You are welcome to contact
me.
