Gravitas

No material thing you own is as valuable as your legacy: the traditions you inherited from your forebears, the values you and your family have shaped over decades, the tales that may span centuries.

​

Yale presidential biographer Michael Takiff founded Gravitas History to help individuals and families pass their legacies to succeeding generations. We accomplish this important task in two ways: by producing expertly written books and by creating comprehensive oral-history archives.

 

We are personal historians, we are oral historians. But above all, we love telling a good story.

​

Starting with yours.
