RESEARCH & INTERPRETATION
Using resources from a variety of libraries, public archives, city and county facilities, historical societies and fee-based web resources, Zenith City Press will gather all the information we can on the subject you are interested in pursuing, including homes, buildings, businesses, people, events, or whatever else you wish to discover. While we cannot guarantee we will uncover everything you are seeking, we will exhaust our resources trying. And if you wish, Zenith City’s publisher TONY DIERCKINS will interpret the findings into a written narrative, bullet-point list or timeline, social media content, marketing copy, walking or driving tours, and more.

“After [the restoration of] Duluth’s historic Temple Opera Block, Zenith City Press helped us create a pamphlet explaining the building’s history and the renovation. The research, text, and images they provided are priceless!”
— Tim McShane, President, Twin Ports Market, Bell Bank
“Zenith City produced a detailed and illustrated 150-year history of Albert and Louise Ordean and their ongoing legacy, the Ordean Foundation. Dierckins’s talent for capturing and conveying compelling narratives and including images brought those historic figures and their stories to life. Our board was thrilled with the final product.”
— Don Ness, Executive Director, Ordean Foundation, and former Duluth Mayor
“The written historic building bio of our Taproom produced by Zenith City Press is both fun and informative, striking the perfect balance between engaging storytelling and historical accuracy. One of the standout features of the piece is the inclusion of historic pictures, which added an extra layer of authenticity and brought the story to life.”
