Facts Found is a specialised historical research service situated in Cape Town, South Africa.

We have access to widespread, well organised and sophisticated local research facilities.

In depth information can be supplied on topics ranging from Education, Cultural, Legal Affairs, Genealogical and Property Matters.

Authors, Academics, Architects, Lawyers, Journalists, Film Producers, Travel Agents, Property Developers, etc., are among those who avail themselves of this service.

The historical research undertaken is wide and varied and commissions come from people in both South Africa and other parts of the world. The requirements may be of a very serious nature, maybe family orientated, it may be that tiny details are required by an author: EG "what colour were the seats in the old Senate Chamber in Cape Town?", "Do judges wear wigs in South Africa and what colour gowns do they wear for criminal and civil cases"? Whatever the needs are they each receive close attention and every attempt is made to find what has been requested. However, despite patient research, results cannot be guaranteed. And yes, the researcher's time has still to be paid for.

There is no aspect of human endeavour - be it political, social, economic or cultural - that does not have a history. The historian should therefore be consulted to see that events of the past are reflected with accuracy and authenticity. To understand the present, a knowledge of the past is necessary.

History can relate and be of service to the living world. Through its study and presentation of discovered facts, it can make the everyday world an interesting and fascinating place. History allows people to gain an insight into their particular world.

History is an environmentally friendly subject and can stimulate the desire to conserve.
