How it worksWho it's for

Your collection belongs in a catalogue.

Catalogue every object with the documentation it deserves — photographs, provenance, condition — in a public record you can keep and share. Registration is free.

How it works

01

Catalogue

Photograph and document each object — provenance, condition, papers.

02

Keep

A permanent proof is recorded, and the record is yours to export and keep.

03

Share

Anyone you show a record to can check it against the register themselves — no account needed.

What RelicQuery is

Anyone can check it

A record can be looked up against the register in seconds — no account, no phone calls, no waiting on business hours.

A record you can keep

A permanent proof lets anyone check what was on file. The record itself is yours to export and keep.

Start your collection

A neutral register

RelicQuery does not sell, appraise, or certify. It records what people file and who filed it, and leaves the conclusions to you.

In short

A collection is only as durable as its paperwork.

Carfax for vehicles. A register of deeds for houses. RelicQuery for the objects you own.

Public record lookup

Look up any published record

No account needed. Enter a RelicQuery ID, or paste a link to a record, and read what has been recorded.

RelicQuery IDs are 8 characters. A full relicquery.org link works too.

Who it is for

Every side of the market

Whether you are cataloguing one object or an estate, the record is the same.

Collectors

Document what you own

Photographs, provenance, condition — recorded object by object and kept in one catalogue. Registration is free.

Start your catalogue

Dealers

Let the record travel

Documentation stays with the object through a sale. A buyer reads the same record you do, without asking you for it.

Register inventory

Auction houses

Check a record at intake

Look up any published record by its RelicQuery ID, without an account. Every lot you register keeps a record of its own.

Laboratories

Stay named on the object

An owner records your report number against the object. The record names you as its source and carries that with it.
