Historical research is at the heart of what we do. We love nothing more than the puzzle-solving challenge of piecing together the history of an old building, its inhabitants, and the broader historical context.

Our research supports National Register nomination, Historic Tax Credit or Special Assessment applications, historic resource evaluations, interpretive planning, and a wide range of preservation projects. While many clients engage us as part of a National Register, Historic Tax Credit, or Special Assessment project, we assist with all manner of historical research. We help property owners uncover and communicate the history of their buildings for interpretive, educational, marketing, and brand-identity purposes, while also providing a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and community histories associated with a property.

We also specialize in interpretive planning. Historic buildings often come with photographs, drawings, archives, and artifacts that help tell their story. We help clients identify, organize, and interpret these materials, transforming historical research into engaging exhibits and interpretive displays. Working alongside talented local graphic designers, we develop content that brings a property's history to life through words, images, and artifacts. Our experience ranges from Section 106 interpretation requirements to custom displays designed to enrich lobbies, community spaces, and visitor experiences.
