Hunter Research provides professional consulting services in historical research, architectural history, archaeology, preservation planning, exhibit development and educational outreach. We cater to public, private and non-profit clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. Our company seeks to satisfy clients with an effective and prompt service that is respectful of our shared cultural heritage.

A substantial part of our work involves assisting clients in complying with the cultural resource requirements of federal, state and local laws. We also specialize in the development of interpretive schemes and management plans for historic sites, and contract frequently with local communities and school systems providing educational programs in history and archaeology.

Hunter Research enjoys an outstanding reputation for high-quality work and has received numerous awards from national, statewide and local organizations. We have worked at many of the region's best known historic sites, such as Ellis Island, Central Park, Historic Morven, Fort Mifflin and Fort Delaware, but we also relish and routinely undertake small-scale projects at lesser known historic properties.

The company belongs to the American Cultural Resources Association, and the firm's Principals are accredited in the Register of Professional Archaeologists. Senior staff members meet National Park Service qualifications standards in the disciplines of history, archaeology and architectural history. We have several OSHA-certified field staff, including personnel qualified at the supervisory level.
