We preserve your history, unlocking the secrets of the past. Archives and history can highlight your leadership, create better marketing and branding ideas, assist you in pulling together information to arrange a reunion or enhance/ support your mission statement.

The History Company offers an entire process built on systems for organizing and cataloguing. Your information becomes both physically safe and intellectually accessible.

We provide individual advice and tailor-made archive services to help create order out of chaos.

In a nutshell, we take your information from chaos to clarity. As professional archive consultants, we understand the science of bringing previous generations of information to life so it can be used as part of your company's future success. What archives as a science does is allow us to apply smart strategies to sort, preserve, and make available the heritage of your founding history. The impact of what we find for a company can be effectively employed in ways most businesses dont realise [See Section below: How Can You Use History to Your Future Advantage? for more ideas]

We are accustomed to dealing with a diversity of media and keeping it in the best possible way, so it becomes accessible and stays secure. Once we have completed your archive initiative, it's easy to implement and inspire a collective effort to maintain the archive, turning it into one of your most powerful tools.

• First steps towards achieving your Business Outcomes – In collaboration with you, we will assess and survey the current state of your collection. We’ll list what you currently have, and what you might be missing, and we’ll work out what you want to use the archive for and how we get there you those outcomes.

• Strategic and Creative Plan – Our process is very logical and thorough. From the assessment stage we’ll identify key elements to focus on, then implement our strategy to efficiently service the project, along the way finding creative business uses for the materials you hold.

Our work revolves around four main tasks: appraisal, processing of materials, description of materials (in a categorised database), and retrieval of materials. A categorised database is an essential tool in an archive to produce accessible and searchable content. Once created, a database is an expandable asset that can be used by all approved employees and departments.

• Pre-existing logs or old databases can be digitised or converted to form the basis of a new fully functioning archival database.

• We can provide Education Programs for staff to become more self-sufficient in maintaining archival assets.

We can also 

• Compile Heritage Registers that record the physical inheritance of an institution or a family collection.

• Design and co-ordinate cost-effective volunteer programs.

• Provide quality control.

There are several ways you can immediately benefit from organising your history into a knowledge database. In archivist terms, we call this outreach, – which means making the collection or parts of the collection available for things such as displays and publications or facilitating research. With the sophisticated understanding we bring to your organisation, many or all of the following outcomes are achievable.
