Web + Mobile Technology
Humanities projects need expert content, but they also increasingly require technological skills and components that are beyond the capacity of many scholarly teams. We can provide web and mobile development, as well as technical training.
Grant Writing
We have written or supported partners’ grants in support of endeavors ranging from small-scale, community-based projects to large, multiyear federally funded projects.
Content Strategy
Our proficiencies include optimizing humanities content for user experience, tailoring content to diverse audiences, enabling discovery through effective metadata strategies, and publicizing digital content via social media.
Teacher Education
We have a decade of experience planning and implementing teacher workshops, including delivering content, connecting to standards, and developing technological skills to enhance professional development.
Historical Research
We specialize in urban and community history, creating or consulting on projects that connect local, place-based stories and rich media to broader regional, national, and international themes.
Oral History
We have nearly two decades of experience in oral history project conceptualization, legal and ethical considerations, collecting, cataloging, clipping, and facilitating content discovery via digital tools.
