Intake
Tell us about your veteran, what documents or objects you have, and what you hope to learn or preserve. The intake form takes about five minutes. We follow up with questions or a quote outline.
-
Quote
Every project is different. Pricing depends on what you have, how much federal research is required, and whether digitization or a written narrative is included. We send a written quote before any paid work begins. There is no checkout on the website.
-
Research and handling
We inventory your materials, research military records from authoritative sources, and digitize fragile items as scoped. We mark confirmed facts clearly and leave gaps open rather than guessing. You see drafts before anything is shared outside your family.
-
Delivery
Typical deliverables include a research report with citations, organized digital files, and optional narrative prose for relatives. Physical originals return to you with basic preservation guidance. Timelines depend on archives. NPRC requests can take weeks or months. We set expectations in the quote.
What we do not do
We do not invent service details to fill a shadowbox or a speech. We do not compete with museum research desks on public tours. We take private family work only after you contact us.
Who we serve
Families anywhere in the United States. Our studio is veteran-owned. The work is personal as well as professional.
Common questions
- How much does veteran research cost?
- Every project is scoped individually. We send a written quote after intake based on the records you have, how much federal research is required, and whether digitization or narrative work is included. There is no checkout on the website.
- Do you work with families outside Hawaiʻi?
- Yes. We serve families anywhere in the United States. Materials can be shipped for digitization. Federal records research does not require you to visit an archive in person.
- Is payment collected on the website?
- No. Intake starts the conversation. We email a written quote and begin paid work only after you approve the scope.
