SRI was established in 1983 by Jeffrey H. Altschul to provide a vehicle for creative people to do interesting and exciting work on the human condition. In meeting the goals of this unique mission, we respond to our nation's goal of preserving its diverse historical and cultural values by integrating exciting research with compliance work and providing timely and cost-effective services in cultural resource management and historic preservation.

Innovation
At SRI, we are innovators, developing cutting-edge programs in geospatial technology, archaeometry, measurement and modeling, interdisciplinary studies, cultural-landscape studies, and public outreach. Why does this matter? Because we work with our clients to solve real-life problems in unique ways they may not have considered previously. Better methods yield cost-effective compliance and breakthrough research. Everyone benefits when innovation and research are fused.
When a client chooses SRI for historic-preservation needs, we provide the services, research, and innovation that have made SRI a leader in historic preservation.
