A dozen years of Know History
A dozen years of Know History! This year marks Know History’s 12th anniversary, and we wanted to thank you all for years of collaboration, innovation, and the most incredible experiences in historical research.
Know History began in 2011 with just one employee; today, we have more than 90 employees nationwide. We look forward to more years of excellent client service, community engagement and new ways to share your stories with the world.
We do-nut know what we’d do without you!
