Archival and Historical Research Associates (AHRA,hereafter) is a Public History firm. Its managing member is the President – Anthony E. Dixon, Ph.D. The catalyst for the formation of AHRA derived from the founder’s passion to work with small businesses and cultural entities.  Through years of experience, a need to get better organized as an essential aspect to increased productivity has been identified.  Public History, an interdisciplinary social science, examines pertinent social phenomena through an interdisciplinary approach.  AHRA bridges the gap between the public and academia by taking theoretical principles and using them in practical applications.

The success of AHRA lies in its high standards of professional service.  AHRA’s clients clearly see the positive outcomes of organizing their documents in a manner that will increase their productivity or the positive outcomes of receiving thorough research materials.

There are three divisions that make up AHRA:  Consultancy Division, Publication Division, and Media Division.

CONSULTANCY DIVISION

AHRA will enable small businesses and cultural entities to manage their organizations in a more productive and efficient manner through a greater ability to organize themselves.  AHRA will become a leader in bridging the gap between academic history and public history by providing entities (such as museums and historical societies) with collection archival development or historical research that will enable them to utilize information in a more practical manner.

PUBLISHING DIVISION

AHRA publication division is dedicated to providing information in an easy to read interpretation and format. This division produces books that provide readers thought provoking information relevant to their lives.

MEDIA DIVISION

The premise of the media division is to provide a voice to the voiceless by telling / examining little known facts, true stories, and current issues concerning Black people.  The foundation of this division lies in two pertinent areas: the research experience and expertise in the field of African Diaspora studies and the cinematography experience and expertise that provides the ability to demonstrate the information/stories. The combination of these two elements produces bodies of work in ways that are both educational as well as entertaining.
