Our story · Since 1995
Historical reproductions, museum expertise and free stories from the past. This is Access Heritage.
History in your hands
Access Heritage Inc. began in 1995. Through MilitaryHeritage.com, we bring together military heritage products and free articles about the people, places, events and objects that shaped our history.
What started as one website grew into a wider resource. Our War of 1812 collection became its own site, Warof1812.ca, while Access Heritage Magazine continues to make historical research accessible to curious readers.
We help museums, collectors and film productions tell stories through historical reproductions and advice. Our clients have made this work possible, and we are grateful for their trust.
Our mission · 1995 business plan
Access Heritage Inc provides an exclusive line of top-quality military heritage products for museums and the selective collector. Products range from custom-made replicas to historical advisor services for museums and the film industry, and stock military reproductions. Access Heritage Inc is committed to museum ethics, and to thorough research and customer education on its entire product line.
Research made tangible
From custom uniforms and headdress to historical props, our work connects careful research with objects people can see and appreciate.
