I need to have my daugher access these sites
because I have no digital camera with my
computer to send the pictures of the art
work to be appraised. How can she access
these sites?

Hi junebugrbts-ga and thanks for asking a clarification before making
a rating.

Since in your original question you were just looking for a way to
contact only art appraisal companies, my answer concentrated on this.
So in a sense I was able to answer your question.

Some of the companies I mentioned usually just need the artist, title
and year of the work according to their inquiry form but of course
eventually they will need to see a copy of the art work.

Since you don't have a digital camera, I suggest you go to your
nearest computer print shop and try to scan the art work if you don't
have a scanner at home. After getting the scanned material send it to
the websites I mentioned above by email.

Thanks again!

Best Regards,
Easterangel-ga
