Building the Future with the Respect to the Past

We Help You Leverage Your Cultural Resources for Project Success.

 

City planners, private developers, and tourism organizations approach us everyday with the same question: how do we engineer the future to respect the past?

 

Committee debate and litigation over management plans can hold projects up for years, costing you not only time but millions in lost revenue. On the other hand, moving forward without historical data puts your project and reputation at risk from poor execution.

 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We believe the future doesn’t need to be at odds with preservation.

 

Now more than ever, stakeholders are vested in the rich cultural assets of their communities. And with social media connecting us at the speed of light, there has never been a more important time to invest in the understanding of your site’s past.

 

Detailed site management plans, architectural history, and excavation support is key to unlocking the critical permits, private and federal funds, and future resources your organization needs to succeed.

 

That’s where we come in. At SJR Research, we provide expert support to back your project and protect your organization’s reputation. We set projects up for success starting from day one. How? By helping your organization create winning long-term strategies backed by rigorous historical research.
