Our Services

Services offered by Davis Cultural Heritage Consulting are tailored to meet the needs of today’s cultural institutions, organizations, and historical societies that require scholarly, professional support but might not have the ability to hire these professionals on staff. Our firm can assist clients on a per-hour, per-project, or on a retainer basis.

 

Curatorial & Exhibition

One of the biggest struggles museums and cultural institutions of all sizes face is finding quality curatorial & exhibition support. The staff at Davis Cultural Heritage Consulting can aid with research, copywriting, development for exhibits. On the curatorial side, our staff is experienced in collections management and has up-to-date training in collections management policy development.

Management & Board Support

From recruitment of your organization’s next rising star to training your Board and management on the nuances of non-profit leadership, the team at Davis Cultural Heritage Consulting can help fill knowledge gaps while sharpening best practices of your organization.

Social Media Campaigns

While not on some institutions’ radar, social media is a low-cost marketing option for tight budgets and social media-based exhibit campaigns are a great way to highlight collection pieces, special or visiting exhibits, and even recognizing outstanding staff.

Our team can develop short-term, long-term, or even manage ongoing campaigns across one or multiple platforms. If your institution would be interested in a social media campaign package, contact the team at DCHC today!

Security Auditing & System Design
