At For Keeps Consulting, we believe that your history isn’t just something to be stored—it’s something to be shared, celebrated, and used. Whether you're an individual with a box of legacy materials, an author in search of sources, or a company ready to honor its past, we help you transform disorganized content into purposeful narrative.
Because your story matters—and so does mine.
Hi, I’m Deidre Dinnigan, founder and CEO of For Keeps Consulting.
I believe that stories—whether personal, organizational, or cultural—are powerful tools. They inform, inspire, and connect us. But too often, they’re scattered, inaccessible, or forgotten. That’s where I come in.
As a certified archivist with years of experience helping individuals, families, and institutions preserve and activate their histories, I’ve seen firsthand how transformative a well-organized collection or a rediscovered voice can be. Whether it’s building a legacy archive from a box of old papers, conducting deep archival research for a book, or crafting a presentation that honors a company’s past, my goal is always the same: to make your story usable, meaningful, and lasting.
At For Keeps Consulting, I bring professional expertise and a personal passion for clarity, context, and care. Every collection has value. Every voice has weight. And every story deserves to be told well.
Let’s make sure yours is.
