Finding Experts

Purpose

To source an expert in a particular field who will assist in an investigation.

Method

One of the most important aspects of any History Detectives investigation is finding the best expert in their respective field to consult with our team.

We scour the country to find an authority on a particular subject whether it's an author, academic, researcher or historian.

The most important aspect of finding the right expert is reading widely in the field of interest both online and in books, academic publications and news sources.

Professional bodies are also invaluable in tracking down people with specific expertise.

Other valuable resources are museums, historical societies and archives, which are crammed with experts in their fields.

History Detectives also employs a team of historical consultants who are all experts in various fields such as the Civil War, Revolutionary War, Archaeology, Building Architecture and the Cold War. They advise on which experts we should be working with to enable the highest level of accuracy in our investigations.
