It features investigations made by members of a small team of researchers to identify and/or authenticate items which may have historical significance or connections to important historical events, and to answer specific questions brought to them about these artifacts. Common subjects are family heirlooms and historical structures. Its stated mission is "exploring the complexities of historical mysteries, searching out the facts, myths and conundrums that connect local folklore, family legends and interesting objects." Over its first decade, the series featured a team of several "detectives": originally Wes Cowan, Elyse Luray, Gwen Wright, and Tukufu Zuberi, later joined by Eduardo Pagán. Following a hiatus, the program returned in summer 2014 in a different format, with hosts Zuberi and Cowan joined by , as History Detectives: Special Investigations. Though not officially cancelled, History Detectives is not planning new episodes as of September 2015. Stations can continue to run the original History Detectives. The rights to the first 10 seasons have been cleared for 10 years, which explains why the first 5 seasons are not re-running or streaming. (en)
