Heritage brands like yours evoke trust, goodwill, and loyalty from both clients and team members. We can help you to use your past to connect to your core values and move your organization forward. Sure, your organization’s best days may lie ahead, but if you are ready to learn more about or celebrate your history, we can help you capture – and signal boost – it.
Narrative Development
Whether you’re celebrating an organizational or business milestone or launching a new campaign, Aster offers the knowledge and resources to locate and deliver the materials to drive your story forward.
We work with you to identify themes in your past to help you tailor your message for a modern audience. We can also contextualize your history, helping you articulate how your organization compares with industry, local, and national histories.
Education and Interpretation
Connecting with educators and students of all ages is an opportunity to present your history in a meaningful and lasting way. We can recommend and deliver educational content and programs ranging from standard-aligned classroom curriculum to public programming.
Oral History
Collect your community or organization’s history in the words of the people who lived it. We help you craft a scope, script, and identify resources for conducting interviews and advise on amplification and storing the information.
Reflection and Reconciliation
Organizations with long histories may discover their past policies and practices out of step with their current values. While not every aspect of history is worth celebrating, facing the past fully is critical to ensuring your story reflects who you are today and how you want to grow in the future. We can connect you with experienced cultural and diversity facilitators to ensure your current culture allows for dialogue and progress.
Archival Management
If you’re like many organizations, you have boxes and boxes (and boxes) of old papers and “stuff” from past events, campaigns, and moves. Maybe you have made a good faith effort to archive those materials and organize them. We can help you assess your materials and storage needs and how to plan for future growth and documentation.
