I'll trace the history, origins, and context behind historical ephemera — postcards, letters, photographs, documents, and other artifacts — using investigative research techniques, archival records, and open-source intelligence.

Whether you're a collector trying to authenticate and date an item, an estate executor making sense of a box of old papers, a museum or archive building context for a collection, or someone who found something fascinating and wants to know the story behind it, I'll reconstruct as much of the provenance and narrative as the evidence allows.

I combine genealogical research, newspaper archives, public records, reverse image search, geolocation, and historical databases to connect artifacts to real people, places, and moments in time. This is where OSINT meets history.

You'll receive a written report with the full investigative narrative, sourced findings, and high-resolution scans or documentation of key supporting evidence.

This service is offered through Frostmere, a research and curated marketplace built on history, investigation, and craftsmanship.
