Our Mission

Our mission is simple: make it easier to find the right artifact authenticator. Authentication is a critical step in understanding the history, legitimacy, and integrity of an artifact. Whether someone has discovered an item in the field, inherited a collection, or is considering a purchase, locating a knowledgeable authenticator can be challenging. Our directory was created to bridge that gap by bringing authenticators together in one searchable platform. We aim to support transparency, education, and responsible collecting by helping users connect with professionals who specialize in identifying authentic artifacts and recognizing modern reproductions or alterations.

Our Focus on Authentication

While some professionals may also offer appraisal or valuation services, the primary focus of this directory is artifact authentication. Authentication involves evaluating an object to determine whether it is genuinely historic and culturally consistent, as opposed to a modern reproduction, altered piece, or misidentified item. We do not perform authentications, issue certificates, or provide opinions on specific artifacts. All evaluations are conducted independently by the authenticators listed in this directory.
