Documents Reviewed Projects Founded What we do If the information exists, we’ll find it, and deliver it on-time and on-budget. Just ask our clients. With almost 75 years combined experience within the management team, The History Group has a well-established track record of success in supporting government, law firms and aboriginal bands at all stages in the settlement and civil litigation process, and have consistantly delivered accurate, reliable and timely research deliverables to our clients. -- PROJECT MANAGEMENT Our team has managed research projects of all shapes and sizes, delivering digital document collections ranging from 100 to 1,000,000+ documents. We know how to position the right people in the right places with the right systems to extract the right information for our clients. Our success in this practice area is derived from our deep experience mining the most important and complex archives in Canada. This experience enables us to establish realistic budgets, gateposts and milestones in our project plans. -- HISTORICAL RESEARCH Our team has retrieved archival documents for a multitude of clients and projects. We are specialists in Aboriginal claims, having worked on all sides of key issues such as Specific Claims, Comprehensive Claims, Indian Day and Residential Schools and Indian Hospitals. Of paramount importance, however, we are unrivaled in the breadth of our archival research experience. Our research projects have led us into the depths of local, provincial, federal and aboriginal archives across the country, turning complex accessioning systems inside-out until we find what we are looking for or an explanation of why it isn't where it should be. -- RECORDS MANAGEMENT The world is becoming increasingly digital. This is changing the methods we use to search for information and the way we organize the information we collect. We are experts in the creation of digital document collections and we use technology mindfully to increase efficiency and reduce costs. As a result of our steady engagement with civil litigation projects, we are experienced in delivering collections that meet with the Canadian Judicial Council Standards. We are trusted for our best practices in the areas of digital reproduction and database tagging. Yes, We like -- “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.” - Steve Jobs Our Work We’re proud to work with amazing people on some of the largest research projects in Canada. We believe that solid working relationships are the key to the success of all of our projects. And we want our clients to enjoy the experience of working with us as much as we want them to be pleased with our end results. We encourage you to review each of our practice areas in more detail to identify the area that most closely describes your project. If you find that your project does not fall within any of our key practice areas, we would appreciate learning more about the details so that we can apply our expertise to creating a unique plan that’s tailored specifically for you. There is no project too large, too small, too old or too new for us to deliver.
