I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for The Appraisal Group and its lead appraiser,…read moreDavid Goldberg, for their exceptional professional services provided to the Katrina National Memorial Foundation (KNMF) Museum and the Free People of Color Battle of New Orleans War of 1812 (FPC) Museum Collection. David conducted a comprehensive, meticulous appraisal of three major archival collections--The Katrina List, The Enslaved/History in Bondage Collection, and The Katrina Collection--as well as the extensive three-volume FPC archival collection documenting over two centuries of Louisiana and Creole history. His work demonstrated an extraordinary command of archival valuation, historical context, and museum-grade documentation standards. Throughout the process, David was thorough, patient, and deeply committed to understanding not only the financial value of the materials but also their cultural, historical, and educational significance. He spent considerable time reviewing thousands of items--photographs, drawings, manuscripts, oral histories, media formats, artifacts, and genealogical records--with accuracy and respectful attention to detail. His written reports were clear, well-organized, and professionally formatted, and they now serve as essential documents for KNMF's insurance coverage, institutional partnerships, fundraising efforts, and long-term preservation planning. David's expertise has elevated the standing of both the KNMF and FPC collections within the wider museum and academic communities, strengthening our ability to safeguard and share these histories with future generations. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding service provided and highly recommend The Appraisal Group to any institution seeking trusted, knowledgeable, and culturally sensitive appraisal work for archival or museum collections.
