Understanding the world around us takes more than one perspective, particularly given that the world around us is rich in diverse worldviews and ways of living. Our deep bench of expert historians, archaeologists, and architectural historians take a wholesome view of the sites and structures we examine to provide our clients with the best possible information concerning historic sites.
Identifying and interpreting artifacts, objects, landscapes, and sites reveals more about our human intersectionalities than meets the eye. Intangible heritage is the nonphysical intellectual wealth, such as folklore, customs, beliefs, traditions, knowledge, and language, that comprise the sum of our being. As good stewards of our heritage, we honor the past by telling its stories..
We take our responsibilities to preserve history seriously. Gathering the small, methodical details is just as important to us as to our commercial, government, and residential clients. Making significant financial investments in a site, structure, or artifact relies on expert recommendations on how to move forward. Before one of our clients receives a final report from us, it goes through a blue ribbon panel to ensure all questions are answered so that anyone who reads it understands it.
Our top-self research team will provide an expert analysis of your project based upon your goals and objectives. The objective analysis will include primary and secondary sources, images, recommendations, compliance with state and federal statutes (e.g., Section 106 (NHPA). Additional options include transcripts from oral history interviews and nomination forms for historic sites.
Receipts for global heritage tourism contributed 556.96 billion in 2021 and are projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2022 to 2030. Historic preservation and economic development work well together if carefully planned. We can help you prepare to balance the two mutual interests.
