Our Newest Chapter.
Since 2016, 1735 has confidently rebranded and overcome challenges from Hurricane Ida in 2021. We secured funding for our flagship program, NOLA Repurposed, a ten-year initiative to transform adjudicated properties in New Orleans. Our mission is to reintegrate these properties into commerce, enhancing life for all New Orleanians.
Consulting
1735 provides quality, in-depth consulting services for individuals, law firms, and organizations in need of historical and data-driven research. From tracing property ownership and family lineage to uncovering archival records, we deliver clear, accurate findings with real-world impact. Our team combines academic training with community-rooted experience to support legal cases, personal projects, and public history initiatives. Whether you need documentation, context, or a compelling narrative—we’ll help you find the story in the details.
Public History Initiatives
We believe history should be accessible, engaging, and rooted in the community. 1735 creates public history projects that preserve and uplift local voices—through neighborhood storytelling, family legacies, educational workshops, and digital exhibitions. Our initiatives are designed to connect people to place, honoring the everyday stories that shape our shared past. When history is shared publicly, it becomes a tool for healing, learning, and action.
Expert Researchers
At 1735, we specialize in uncovering what others overlook. Our research combines traditional archival methods with modern digital tools to access property records, court documents, notarial acts, and family histories. We approach every project with precision, curiosity, and care—tailoring our methods to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you need accurate data for legal use or storytelling, we deliver trusted, well-documented results.
Historical Preservation
Preserving history means more than saving buildings—it means saving stories. 1735 works to document and protect the cultural and historical assets of New Orleans and beyond, especially those at risk of being forgotten. We support preservation efforts through property research, community engagement, and strategic consulting that bridges the past with the future. Every space, document, and memory we help protect adds to a richer, more inclusive historical record.
