Welcome

I'm Robin Van Auken, a consultant specializing in historical, editorial and literary topics. I help my clients preserve, present and profit from their most distinctive asset: their history. From heritage projects and exhibits, to Internet sites, books and oral histories, to anniversary master plans, and more, I assist others as they unlock the hidden value of their past.

As an editorial specialist, I assist in many stages of creative development and promotion. I enjoy working with individuals, non-profit organizations, schools, colleges, private companies and municipalities to develop public and personal histories and projects.

Specializing in promoting archaeology and preservation, my small, woman-owned company works with archaeologists in the areas of research, writing and editing technical archaeological monographs, managing publications and producing reports, organizing and producing written documents as both Web-based and traditional publications. I have the experience to produce a final product, or work with a professional publisher. Follow this link

Historical non-fiction is my area of concentration, both as an author and an editor. To date, I have published ten books. Perhaps you require a specialist to chronicle and illustrate your company's story for publication. I provide guidance for new or existing book projects. Follow this link

The Omnibus is an editorial agency that assists with many stages of creative development. I work with writers, artists and musicians as well as non-profit organizations to develop editorial and marketing strategies. I have helped many clients in the development and publication of their own books, family histories, eBooks, multi-media CDs, videos, Web sites and other personal projects. Depending upon the project, my staff of writers and editors can assist you. Follow this link

 

  Muncy Interactive Archaeology Dig
 

 

Muncy Historical Society and Lycoming College are collaborating on a Public Archaeology Project on the West Branch Canal. Each summer, when the college's field school finishes its research, the site is open to individuals and families for hands-on history lessons. I serve as the principal investigator for this site and assist the society as it develops its Muncy Heritage Park and Nature Trail. Follow this link
