Historical Research, Content & Marketing

Bring the past to life

Every institution, business and building has a history that underpins everything about them.

If you want to bring the past to life, hiring a historical researcher is a smart move.

I am an experienced historical researcher capable of not only creating an in-depth historical research document for your review, but with expertise in how to use this information to create engaging content to share with audiences. This can help you gain recognition, boost your reputation and reach more people.

With a Master’s Degree from the University of Leicester’s Centre for Urban History, I have developed a research approach which seeks to create context around my findings, and present this in a way which truly brings history to life.

I also have experience of creating historical content and managing marketing and event campaigns for heritage organisations.

Specialist Areas

Oral History Interviews

Our memories and recollections can be incredible insights into the history of place, organisations, movements and important periods of societal changes.

Oral history helps to collect and archive these memories through recorded interviews with people who can shed light on specific topics.

I have experience conducting oral history interviews and working with people to chronicle aspects of heritage and history that are at risk of being lost forever.

Heritage Marketing

There are numerous heritage organisations throughout the UK and further afield that do a wonderful job of preserving and promoting historic buildings, areas and institutions.

I have experience working with such organisations to take their marketing to new levels of efficacy.

I have worked to coordinate heritage events, enhance marketing practices and help organisations engage with a wider audience through social media channels.

Building History Research

Buildings are one of the few human elements that pass through generations, and each and every one has a story to tell. Historical research can provide all the information you need about a specific building, or the land on which it stands.

If you are a business who has moved into a historic building and wants to shout about it, or a homeowner keen to find out more about where you live, contact me and let’s start uncovering the information you want to know about.

Sports Club Research

Sports clubs are some of the longest-running institutions out there. Their place within the history of places and people is hugely important, particularly as sports clubs tend to unite those of different ages and backgrounds.

I am an experienced researcher of sports history, capable of unearthing gems that shed new light on a club’s history. This information can then be used as marketing collateral, encouraging supporters to invest in a club’s future through its past.

Urban History & Local History Research

How cities, towns and places change over time is a fascinating topic, with hints of different epochs littered throughout modern townscapes. Not only do streets, buildings and spaces change, but the people that occupy them do too. If you need support with a project with an urban history or local history angle, I can help you uncover what it is you are looking for.

Social History Research

Humans are fascinating creatures, forever leaving imprints on the world around us. Exploring social history allows us to develop a deeper understanding of who we are.

Additional Historical Research Services

Character statements

Character statements are important parts of the planning process, providing insight into a building or area’s history, character and significance. These can then be used as part of a planning application.

Conservation Legislation Guidance

Modern conservation legislation can be a challenging area. With an MA in Urban Conservation, I am in a good place to offer guidance and support around conservation legislation and how it may affect your project.

Archival Research

Archives can be a hugely important resource when seeking information about the past, but they can also be overwhelming. Rather than feeling like you are searching for a needle in a haystack, hiring a historical researcher with archival experience can save you time and effort.
