Step two

Tell Aubrey what you are looking for.

Are you a local history researcher exploring your area, or someone curious about a specific era? Your answers change the shape of the entire report.

Aubrey uses what you tell it to weight the research and tailor the way your report is written. The same deep archive, presented for you specifically.

Step three

Aubrey searches everything simultaneously.

The moment Aubrey starts, the research is comprehensive. Federal land patents and General Land Office records. Civil War battle records, soldier rosters, and regimental histories. National Register of Historic Places listings. Census records from 1790 to 1940. USGS geological surveys. State and local archive collections.

Aubrey uses advanced AI to cross-reference and interpret everything it uncovers thousands of individual records searched for a typical US report, synthesised into a report that reads like it was written by a specialist who knows your location's history intimately.

Step five Β· Living Reports

Then we keep going.

Most reports end here. Yours doesn't. For as long as you subscribe, Aubrey keeps researching the places in your account. When we find something new, a source that just came to light, a detail we can now trace, a connection between two of your locations, it arrives as a Discovery, in your account and your inbox. Real finds only, always sourced. Your report is a living thing, and it keeps growing.
