We are public and applied history specialists pleased to offer a wide variety of consulting services to government agencies, cultural and academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and private businesses. Passel is located in Virginia and accepts work nation-wide.
What is applied history? We believe in using history to find solutions to real-world problems, whether that’s conducting research to help a municipal client build a bike path to work-shopping preservation laws with community groups to protect endangered structures. We provide insight and assistance anywhere historical knowledge meets the public engagement. In our part of the world, Passel means “an assortment of things,” and we embrace this definition by offering a wide variety of flexible services.
