Consultant Search

New York State service organizations are often asked to refer consultants to museums for specific projects, ranging from architects to development professionals to conservators. We think you'll find this database, which contains national leaders in the field, extremely helpful in your quest for professional help. Consultant fees very greatly, but most charge within a range of $200-600/day plus expenses like travel costs and meals. Some consultants will come to a site at no charge to meet with staff about the project.

Consultants who are listed with this site were carefully screened prior to acceptance, however, inclusion on this site is not an endorsement of the quality of work of any individual or business. Before you sign a contract, we highly encourage you to ask your colleagues about your choice of consultant, check his/her listed references, and ask to see samples of his/her work.

Tips for using this database:

At the time of application, each consultant was asked for FIVE references, although most have a multitude of past clients. Within each record you will find a section titled, "Statement of Work". The text in this section was provided by each consultant to allow him/her to speak about his/her work, experience and philosophy. We strongly recommend that you read the Statements of Work to be assured of a good match between your institution and your consultant.
