From a small research initiative to a leading institution in historical studies.
SandfordHeritage was founded in 2005 as a collaborative project between academic historians and public archivists. Our initial focus was digitizing local historical records. A pivotal moment came in 2012 with the launch of our first public learning modules, establishing our dual mission of rigorous research and accessible education. The 2018 expansion into methodological consulting for cultural institutions marked our evolution into a comprehensive heritage school. Each phase of our growth has been guided by a commitment to neutral, evidence-based analysis and the preservation of institutional memory for future generations.
