Interpretive Planning and Exhibit Development
HRA provides research, writing, layout, and design for various forms of interpretive content. We develop exhibits and historical displays for a variety of clients, including museums and historical societies, universities, medical centers, commercial and retail spaces, and public venues.
Our historians gather documentary evidence (archival records, photographs, and maps) and conduct oral histories, then analyze these materials within appropriate historical contexts to develop interpretive work products to suit our clients’ needs.
Our interpretive work products are expertly researched and written in an accessible style. They have been used in a variety of ways, including museum exhibits, mitigation for adverse effects to historic properties, internal and external public relations campaigns, and heritage tourism signage.
Our products include:
- Museum exhibits
- Historical displays
- Documentary videos
- Interpretive signage for heritage tourism
