Grandma's quilt. Your father's pottery. The painting you found at an estate sale twenty years ago. Every one made by human hands.
The story matters as much as the object. You enter the lifecycle at the moment that matters most — collecting and stewardship.
The Maker Behind the Tool
&Kept was created by Ladianne Henderson — artist, creative director, and connection finder with global consulting experience.
She built this tool because she's seen what happens when objects outlive their stories — when the quilt arrives without context, when the painting has no provenance, when the insurance claim fails because there's no documentation. &Kept exists to prevent that.
The same creative vision behind WoolTribe and her fine art practice — now applied to heritage preservation.
See her full portfolioWhat You Get
Record maker attribution, ownership history, acquisition details, and provenance chains. Every piece gets a complete record — who made it, who owned it, how it came to you, and why it matters. The kind of documentation that travels with the object.
Not just a number — a narrative. Our AI analyzes materials, craftsmanship, condition, and provenance to provide four-value ranges (low, mid, high, insurance replacement) with market comparables and cultural context. Heritage assessments that explain why your object matters.
Publication-quality PDFs for insurance claims, estate planning, appraisals, and donation receipts. Documentation that professionals trust — your insurance company, your estate attorney, your appraiser. Same tool, different purpose.
Invite family members to view, contribute their own memories, and help build the record together. The story doesn't belong to one person. Pass it down with the object itself — documented, valued, and remembered.

How It Works
Upload photos. Tell us who made it, when, and why it matters. Record the story in your own voice if you'd rather talk than type. Document provenance, acquisition details, and condition.
AI analyzes materials, craftsmanship, condition, and provenance. You get a heritage assessment and four-value range — from conservative estimate to insurance replacement — with cultural context and market comparables.
