About IHI
Irvin Heritage Inc started as a small single man operation with the goal of producing efficient fluff free assessments based on the foundation of sound best practice archaeology. IHI quickly picked up speed amassing a loyal client base and a reputation for the company you call when you need the job done right.
In 2018, Irvin Heritage Inc expanded and took on the dedicated archaeologists that would help grow and form IHI into the powerhouse problem solving firm it is today. They brought leadership, organizational skills, and diverse perspectives that became vital to the growth of Irvin Heritage. IHI continues to grow but not with the goal of becoming the largest Archaeological Consultancy in Ontario. Rather, our goal is to grow within our means taking on innovative outside the box thinkers to keep the archaeological assessments and expertise we provide a uniquely quality product we are proud to stand behind.
Irvin Heritage Inc. was founded in 2014 by Tom Irvin (P379). Tom grew up in the Ontario Archaeological Industry working not only as an Archaeologist in the field but also as a Project Manager and eventually an Archaeological Review Officer employed by the Government of Ontario. After reviewing countless archaeological assessments, Tom knew he could make a change in how Ontario Archeological Consultants operate.
