History gives answers only to those who know how to ask questions ~Hajo Holborn

  • Architectural History

    Hallam Historical meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Architectural History. We conduct Section 106 historical surveys for federal agencies and prepare National Register and HABS/HAER/HALS documentation.

  • Historic Preservation

    We work with local governments and state historic preservation offices to conduct surveys, develop preservation plans, and prepare historic contexts and interpretive strategies that tell stories about places for diverse audiences.

  • Archival Research

    Hallam Historical has years of experience locating hard-to-find documents buried deep in the archives with no online trace. We conduct PRP searches and collect historical records for attorneys in support of civil litigation.

  • Family History

    Our family history practice goes beyond building family trees. We use maps, photographs, local histories, genealogical data and other sources to place your family’s story in historical context, adding the what, where, why, and how.
