COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY HISTORY
We leverage our experience and extensive knowledge of historical research methods and sources to create engaging, story-based family histories. Our approach aims to captivate and resonate with every member of your family, even those who may initially be resistant to exploring their ancestral past. Our goal is to highlight the most interesting and impactful stories of your family members. We bring together a wide range of documents and sources, including vital records, census data, maps, and newspaper articles to paint a vivid picture of your family's past.
​
Our in-person presentations are the ideal way to share these histories with family members, complete with printed family trees, a narrative history of your family, and archival records. When possible, we even highlight family pictures and heirlooms.
​
Our presentations can also occur over Zoom, enabling us to work with families all over the country.
ORAL HISTORY
Oral histories are a wonderful way to record memories and experiences frequently missed in written sources. Our interviews will help you preserve your loved ones’ stories or present a different perspective on a particular event. The process begins with targeted research and a pre-interview to outline the objectives and goal of the oral history. The final product—whether audiovisual or written transcript—will be individualized according to your specific goals. Regardless of its form, your oral history project will result in a cherished heirloom that will be treasured by your loved ones for generations to come.
CURATORIAL SERVICES
We offer museums a range of research and curation services, including identifying objects for display, authoring exhibition text, creating docent manuals, securing loan of artifacts, and more. We work closely with communities and stakeholders to ensure exhibitions are engaging and inclusive.
​
We can also help small institutions professionalize their collections by conducting surveys and advising on best practices for storage, documentation, and display.
CORPORATE ARCHIVES & DISPLAYS
We offer businesses all of our family history and museum services, with a unique focus on capitalizing on your business's history for stronger brand identity, defining and reinforcing culture, and celebrating important milestones. We can evaluate your current holdings and advise on the best path forward for collection, storage, documentation, and display. If you’re just beginning to preserve documents and artifacts, then we can help you establish good collection policies and practices.
