Hurd Smith Communications

How can we help?

We also "do" business histories. Sometimes clients publish a book or brochure, add the research to their website, or use it to create a display for a special event or their lobby.


It has been an honor to research and write the history of these businesses and organizations:


Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church

(Danvers, MA)


Soucy Insurance Agency, Inc.

(Salem, MA)


Franklin Square House Foundation

(Boston, MA)


Wolf & Company, PC

(Boston, MA)


Welch & Forbes, LLC

(Boston, MA)


Children's Friend and Family Services (Salem, MA)
