Darien, CT – November 21, 2025 – G. Scott Capital Partners, LLC (“Scott Capital”), a private investment firm that partners with established businesses to support long-term, sustainable growth, today announced its acquisition of Gaylord Archival (“Gaylord”), a leading provider of preservation and exhibit solutions for museums, libraries, archives, and individual collectors.v
The transaction represents a new platform investment for Scott Capital and marks the sale of Gaylord from Wall Family Enterprise, a family-owned business which has traditionally served the library, learning, and civic engagement markets. Wall Family Enterprise has owned Gaylord Archival for more than 20 years and will continue as a minority investor following the transaction.

In partnership with Scott Capital, Gaylord will continue to operate independently while gaining access to additional resources to support measured growth, expand its product offerings, and strengthen relationships with existing and new customers.
“This investment reflects our focus on partnering with businesses that have enduring market positions and a clear mission,” said Greg Scott, Founder and Managing Partner of Scott Capital Partners. “Gaylord Archival’s history, customer trust, and commitment to preservation make it a strong platform, and we look forward to supporting the company’s continued success while remaining aligned with Wall Family Enterprise as a long-term minority investor.”
