RESEARCH AND HISTORY

Delving into, understanding, and assessing cultural heritage

​

Rigorous historical research and analysis is essential to effective heritage management. At Touring the Past, we draw on extensive experience with private and public archives, combined with deep knowledge of Australian history, to prepare authoritative Historical Assessments for a wide range of heritage purposes.

 

We are particularly adept at producing comprehensive, evidence-based Statements of Significance. These identify and articulate the elements of value at a heritage place, explaining why it was listed and establishing a clear basis for planning change and assessing impacts.

 

Our expertise also extends to commissioned histories. Whether in the form of books, brochures, or digital content, we craft histories that bring to life the stories of houses, businesses, and organisations.
