Our History Vantage Point traces its roots to 1985 when Eric Abrahamson founded The Prologue Group in San Francisco. In the early days, the company focused on history, public policy and communications. Consulting for organizations like the Bay Area Council, Abrahamson drafted public policy reports and white papers on issues affecting the economy of the San Francisco Bay Area. He also wrote book-length corporate histories for the University of San Francisco’s School of Law (1987), Swinerton & Walberg Construction (1989), and Pacific Telesis Group (1993). Shorter histories told the story of the city of Monterey and historic sites in California. Meanwhile, the company also began developing concepts and content for new historical museums in association with Santa Monica-based exhibition designers IQ Magic. In the company’s second decade, Abrahamson wrote a history of S&W Fine Foods, researched the development of mortgage banking for Countrywide Home Loans, and collaborated with IQ Magic on the development of the innovative Hometown Perry, Iowa, museum. He co-wrote a history of cell phone pioneer AirTouch Communications with Louis Galambos of the Business History Group and developed the content and images for a CD-ROM on California History produced by Instructional Resources Corporation. In 2005, The Prologue Group association was dissolved and Vantage Point Historical Services, Inc. was created. Today, the company, based in the Black Hills of South Dakota, offers a variety of historical consulting services to clients throughout the United States and Canada. |
