Kira J.

Historical Researcher + Consultant

Need some expert help with history or mythology? Have an archival document you need to track down? Is there an image you want to use but you have no idea if it's copyrighted? Are you in dire need of Latin? I can help. HISTORICAL CONSULTING With advanced degrees in classics and art history, a list of published research and over a decade teaching college classes about mythology and the ancient world, I am uniquely qualified to help with your historical project. I specialize in providing you accurate information and suggesting routes that inject accuracy into your work without compromising creativity or the needs of the medium. I also translate, compose, coach, proof, and transcribe Latin. Past projects include films, podcasts, novels, scripts, proposals, research publications, and games. FACT CHECKING AND RESEARCH I have helped folks with historical fiction, YouTube media, papers, books, Wikipedia, video games, films, you name it. I tailor my recommendations to your needs and audience and provide rock solid sources. I am proficient at tracking down images and negotiating copyright needs, not only for ancient history but any period or subject. Prior examples include early Silicon Valley, Billie Holiday, Late Antiquity, and archaeology. ARCHIVAL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC SOURCES I have worked and researched in archives all over the world and I know how to navigate them. If you are trying to find original documents, track down a hard-to-find article, or figure out where a collection of documents is, I can find copies and/or give you contact information and instructions for contacting the archives yourself. I have previously sourced legal papers, articles from pre-World War periodicals, German archival records, photograph collections, and more.
