Consulting with title insurance agencies, real estate attorneys and agencies in need of historical research relating to real estate transactions and with private individuals interested in the history of their properties and family lineage.
It is our belief that every historic property has contributed in its own way to America's rich cultural history.
Although not every property can be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, it still deserves a certain degree of historical attention.
Preservation of historic properties as important reflections of our American heritage became a national policy during the early part of the last century.
These efforts need to be fostered through the existence of a nationally favorable attitude toward historic preservation.
A proper understanding of our historical past is vital to developing this attitude.
Tomkins Historical Research cultivates this attitude by researching the past for the future to study.
