About Us

"Helping People Tell Stories."

MilitaryHeritage.com is both a commercial website and a portal to free stories about people, places, events and objects from our shared history.  Started in 1995, the site has grown and changed over the years. One part of it grew so much in content it was necessary to start its own website: Warof1812.ca. Today it is one of the top sites in the world on that subject.

Access Heritage Inc is our company name. Our company's mission has not changed since we started:

Access Heritage Inc provides an exclusive line of top-quality military heritage products for museums and the selective collector. Products range from custom-made replicas to historical advisor services for museums and the film industry, and stock military reproductions. Access Heritage Inc is committed to museum ethics, and to thorough research and customer education on its entire product line." -- Mission Statement, 1995 Business Plan.

In short we put history in your hands so you can tell a story about or simply appreciate events of the past.  After decades of hard work we have become a world leader in what we do. Who do we owe this achievement to? Our clients. They believe in us and we are thankful and honoured to service them.
