My name is Dr. David Hamann — your expert partner for historical research projects. I have been working as a freelance historian for over 16 years. Whether it be academic work, family history research or a personal area of interest: drawing on my many years of experience, I can support and advise you on archival research, the transcription of old German manuscripts and the editing of academic publications, from structural advice right through to the final polish.
My areas of expertise
I specialise in the history of National Socialism and the Second World War. My other areas of focus include the history of Prussia and Germany (18th–20th centuries), Jewish history, the history of migration, the history of science, and the history of the GDR.
Who I like to do research for:
- University research projects and publication initiatives.
- Academic institutions, museums and academies.
- Private researchers (e.g. local history, genealogy, family history).
- Educational and school projects.
- Authors and journalists.
- Media professionals (radio and television programmes, documentaries, podcasts).
- Law firms.
- Collectors and enthusiasts of specific historical fields (e.g. military history, postal history).
- Companies wishing to examine their corporate history.
- Individuals seeking historical evidence for the acquisition of German citizenship (e.g. descendants of victims of the Nazi regime).
I am happy to do some research for you.
