About the work

A closer look.

Send me one claim about a place. I check it twice: against the primary source (official records, surveys, the original documents) and against the ground (current mapping, street-level imagery and the date each frame was captured). What comes back is a short brief: what I checked, what the record says, what the ground shows, where the two disagree, coordinates and dates you can verify, and a plain conclusion. If the record is too thin to answer, I tell you that instead of inventing a story. What this is good for: - a border or boundary that may not run where people assume - a landmark, memorial, or an 'oldest / first' claim - a location fact in a piece you are writing or a pitch you are making Deal first: tell me the claim before anything is paid, and I say whether it is checkable. If I cannot check it, you do not pay. One revision included. Delivery within 3 days of the claim being fixed.
