Athena Research Consultants was founded in 1996 and relaunched with a renewed vision in 2023.
I am a federally qualified professional historian (36 CFR Part 61) with 30 years of experience. As a public historian, I enjoy researching overlooked stories and providing educated perspectives on familiar topics. This is where curiosity and connection thrive and how we thoughtfully add to our understanding of a place or moment in time. At Athena Research Consultants, I guide projects that document the past but also highlight history and preservation as an integral part of contemporary community planning.
Tiffany Dziurman
Founder & Principal Historian

Our name and logo are inspired by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, strategy, and the arts. Known as a protector of cities and a patron of craftsmen, architects, and thinkers, Athena represents the ideals at the heart of our work: knowledge, integrity, and connection. In Greek mythology, Athena was not only a warrior but a guide. She was a champion of reason, creative expression, and civic life.
Athena's image is often depicted accompanied with a small owl. The owl has long been considered a symbol of knowledge and wisdom. Preserving history and culture is at the core of what we do at ARC and with each project, we draw inspiration from Athena's blend of intellect and artistry.
In 2022, Tiffany received a Historic Preservation Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Historic Preservation from The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Tiffany appeared on camera as a historian for the PBS documentary, Pioneer Family on Van Hoosen Farm.
As a local supporter of historic preservation in and around her community, Tiffany has been interviewed by local media about various historic buildings.
