What can we help you with?
Discover the story of your property through detailed historical research anHistoric places contain layers of evidence about the people who built, occupied and changed them. Ictis undertakes detailed historical and heritage investigations to uncover and interpret these stories.
Our work can include research into historic buildings, properties, sites and landscapes, documentary research, historic map analysis, architectural investigation and the study of a place’s development over time.
Every project begins with a free initial consultation to discuss your requirements and determine the most appropriate approach.
Understanding the significance of a historic building or place is an important part of making informed decisions about its future.
Ictis provides heritage research and consultancy to support planning, conservation and development projects. This can include Heritage Statements, Historic Building Recording, heritage assessments, Heritage Impact Assessments and other research relating to the historic environment.
Every project begins with a free initial consultation to discuss your requirements and determine the most appropriate approach.
Trace your family history through professional genealogical research usiFamily history is about more than names and dates. Through careful research into archives, records and historical sources, Ictis helps clients uncover the lives, places and experiences of their ancestors.
Whether you are looking to investigate a particular ancestor, understand a family connection or develop a more substantial family history, research can be tailored to your aims and budget.
Every family is different. Some projects involve tracing just a few generations, while others uncover centuries of family history across multiple locations. Every commission begins with a free initial consultation to discuss your aims, assess the available records, and recommend the most appropriate level of research before providing a bespoke quotation.
Professional historical research tailored to your individual requirements. WHistory is most meaningful when people can connect with it.
Ictis develops research and interpretation projects that help communities, organisations and audiences discover and understand their heritage. Projects can include heritage trails, exhibitions, interpretation materials, historical talks, educational resources and community history projects.
Every community has its own story. Some projects involve researching a single historic building or producing a simple heritage leaflet, while others bring together oral histories, archive research, exhibitions and publications over many months. Every commission begins with a free initial consultation to discuss your ideas, identify the aims of the project, and develop a tailored approach before providing a bespoke quotation.
A tailored approach to every project
History rarely fits into neat categories. Some projects can be answered through a day’s archival research, while others may require site visits, historic map analysis, specialist sources or consultation with local archives. For that reason, every commission is tailored to your individual requirements.
If you’re unsure which service is right for you, I’d be happy to discuss your project and recommend the most suitable approach.
