Nanny Jack & Co. offers a wide range of services related to African American
history in general and Black Memorabilia in particular.
- Speaking Engagements
-
Philip J. Merrill is a dynamic speaker who can
not only inform but move an audience with his encyclopedic knowledge of
African American history. He is particularly inspiring when relating the
often untold stories of achievement and victory by a people despite
overwhelming odds against them. Presentations can be tailored to the
requirements of different audiences and made more interesting by the
addition of fascinating artifacts from Merrill's vast collection.
To book
Philip for a speaking engagement or presentation, contact Voices of
Diversity at
www.voicesofdiversity.com. Please do not contact Nanny
Jack directly for such requests; we will only refer you to Voices of
Diversity.
- Exhibit Consultations
-
We
consult with agencies and museums across the country to create unique
African American exhibits. (For example, Philip Merrill is presently a
consultant to the Smithsonian Institiution's Anacostia Museum & Center for
African American History and Culture. Click
here,
then click on "Collectors", then click on Philip's picture at the bottom of the
webpage.) We have the capability to produce striking graphic
artistry and DVDs or videotapes to augment an exhibit. In addition to
providing advice and guidance, we can use our extensive archives to mount
entire exhibits from scratch or augment exhibits based on clients'
collections.

- Brokering Services
-
We can provide a ready
marketplace for the sale of unique and historically significant African
American artifacts. (See our Marketplace
page for some items that we are brokering for clients.) Not only will
we list your item on our website, but we will alert our database of
potential buyers (museums and other institutions, as well as individual
collectors, with special interests in African American artifacts) of the
availability of your special item. We have an open and flexible
auction format: no up-front listing fees, no limitations on how long the
item can be listed for sale, and the seller can choose who (s)he sells to
and for how much.

- Image Rentals
- We frequently license film and dramatic production companies, publishers
and others to use images of artifacts from the extensive Nanny Jack
collection to lend an air of historic authenticity to a production or
publication. Our extensive and eclectic collection of artifacts can
meet virtually any need for such images. (For an example of one of our
licensed images, click here,
then click on "Photos" at the top of the page. The first image that
comes up is one that was licensed by Nanny Jack to this important work on
African American fraternities and sororities.)

- Research & Appraisals
-
Many people need or desire
to know the value of the African American artifacts and Black memorabilia in
their possession, whether for the purpose of an estate valuation or simply
to determine whether it is worthwhile to sell the item. Or maybe you
just want to learn more about the item and its historical significance.
Whatever your need, why not come to the man who created the Black
Memorabilia category and served as an appraiser for over 6 years on
the PBS show,
Antiques Roadshow? We will research the item and provide you
with the most accurate and reliable information available about
your artifact.
