Our tailor-made services

Retrace agency offers personalised services that unites academic research with content creation and production.

Researching

We carry out research to answer your questions about history.

Are you looking to preserve the memory of your rich family history? We create the book that displays your precious memories and the results of our historical research.

Are you a movie producer, director or scriptwriter? The nuances of historical truth in a production can carry great weight. We carry out preliminary research to ensure the credibility of a given scene.

Creating

We bring your tangible and intangible heritage to life through a captivating story.

Perhaps you are running a company, a foundation or a non-profit organisation that has made a name for itself over the decades and you wish to make the most of the archives you have preserved. We retrace your story in a publication aimed at your customers and members.

Or maybe you work at a City Hall and appreciate the attractions of unique cultural heritage for tourism. We build an original and compelling narrative for the public, and provide you with a high-performance and user-friendly app to host this content.

Illustrating

We immortalise your story in images.

If you are the owner of an exceptional property, you might wish to retrace its history through an illustrated publication combining historical images with aerial photographs taken by our drone.

If you are a collector interested in producing a catalogue worthy of the greatest museums, we organise the photographic sessions and design a high-quality book that will showcase your collecting approach and the objects in your collection.

Producing

Book, exhibition, film, website... We make your dream come true in all these forms.

You treasure precious documents and would like to give them a luxurious, lasting form to pass on to your descendants. We work with the best book craftsmen.

You wish to organise an exhibition, but not know where to start. We offer our professional expertise to design a high-quality experience for a discerning audience: exhibition texts and images, educational workshops, and more.

The quality of the book you are holding in your hands is due to the constant professionalism and good humour of the Retrace team, Annabelle Oliva and Julie Waseige. In addition to their obvious scientific and academic skills, we were able to appreciate two personalities who were always able to conduct their work with a sympathetic ear and an intelligence that was as holistic as it was empathetic. With these few words, we pay tribute to them and express our deep gratitude. We wish Retrace every success for the future.

Many entrepreneurs dream of publishing their life story for posterity. To be able to tell their children and grandchildren the "how" and "why" of their story, their choices, their successes and mistakes, their falling down, getting up again, creating, succeeding or failing! The day I was lucky enough to discover Retrace, it was like: EUREKA! And that's how "Mon boekske" came about, thanks to the wonderful assistance of two brilliant and dedicated personalities, Julie and Annabelle.

We turned to Retrace to meet a major challenge: bridging the gap between our world of immersive exhibitions and entertainment and that of art. Retrace worked with us on a couple of exhibition projects to ensure that we got it right, while continuing to speak to our audience. With Retrace, Annabelle and Julie have succeeded in combining art history and entrepreneurship. They brilliantly harness their talent to serve their clients, with an ability for adaptation that is very rare these days!
