What is a Historical Consultant?

As a professional historian, I can help you with whatever your historical needs may be. Do you need help with your next museum installation, or with the creation of your next exhibition? Do you need an appraisal of your western artifacts? Do you need an expert to speak at an event, or for your documentary? Do you need someone to help with the historical accuracy of your film project?
