DIRECTIONS TO THE PAST
When you need help with your research or your document collection.
Sometimes it's a quick question or maybe you need a bit of mentoring. I can help.
Welcome
Hi, my name is Laura Kirbyson. I've been a professional historical researcher and genealogist for over 20 years. I am exceptional at document management having worked on some of the largest document collections in Canadian litigation history.
I am passionate about history, research and managing documents collections.
What I offer
Mentoring
Document Management
Document Management
My ideal private client is someone who needs that bit of help to get through a research hurdle or advice on how to present the information they've found working on their family tree.
I love mentoring people who are interested in history and genealogy!
You might need 15 minutes (1st 15 are free!) just one time or maybe we'll have an ongoing support arrangement. I'll be here to help you get where you want to go with your research.

Document Management
Do you have a lot of materials that you've collected over the years and you're not sure how to organize the paper, photographs, and other memorabilia?
Maybe you're a law firm who'd like to take on a larger client but you don't have the expertise in document management that would support that opportunity?
These or any collection-related challenges you may have are ones I can help you manage. Contact me to discuss how we can make it happen.
Memory Management

Memory Management
Telling stories about people's lives is important to me. I like finding out about people's lives and how they have had an impact on those around them.
Biographies
Perhaps a loved one has passed away and you need help putting together a life story about them. I would be happy to help with that so that they can be remembered by the family and friends who mourn them, but also for people in the future to know who they were.
Mementoes
I will catalogue your family treasures and include a photo and a meaningful description so that their sentimental value can be fully appreciated.
(Photos and description provided by you but I can help with that, as well.)
Ask me about the format options (digital, book, presentation, for examples).
