With a focus on personal military histories, “War Stories” specializes in researching individual stories from the past for our clients. Going one step beyond typical personal history research, we also make the experience an interactive and sustainable one for our clients. The end product results in a complete digital database, which keeps the individual(s)’ story alive and engaging for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
The rise in popularity of public history, via the mediums of television (American Pickers, Pawn Stars, The Vietnam War, Who Do You Think You Are?), internet (r/oldschoolcool Reddit, “This Day in Military History” Twitter), and museums (more interactive exhibits and events), has led to an increase in the desire for people to know their own pasts, or the past of someone whom they are interested in. “War Stories” aims to serve the market of curious History Channel-watching, Museum-attending, Reddit-posting, Twitter-tweeting individuals. We want to help them not only learn more about their personal military history questions, but to interact with them, and keep the stories alive and engaging for ages to come.
