Archival research. Our research team will inspect, analyze, and categorize client archives, including business records, articles, newsletters, marketing collateral, photographs, and other related materials. Research will be organized and catalogued in binders and files, and an indexed system will be created for easy retrieval.
Information gathering. In addition to internal archives, we research external sources of information, including community libraries, newspaper archives, industry records, and other sources which track company milestones and developments.
Interviews. Working with the client, we will schedule and conduct a series of interviews with people who provide relevant oral history with the power to expand and deepen the storyline.
Writing and editing. Using information and stories gathered in the research and interview stages, our writer(s) will generate a written and edited manuscript, assemble photographs and images, and initiate the design phase.
Design. In collaboration with the client, our design partners will first develop a design direction, then format and design pages. A “design review” webpage will keep the client abreast of design plans and modifications as they occur.
