History of Swyrich
Swyrich Corporation's origins lie with International Coats of Arms, a long-standing company rich in heraldic tradition and design, founded in 1968, and Hall of Names, a company founded in Toronto, Canada, that began researching family surnames in 1971.
In 1994, the principals of Swyrich Corporation, David and Sherry Richardson, moved the business to Kingston, Ontario. As well as hiring researchers to continue the perpetual growth of the surname and coat of arms databases, they also embarked on a new endeavor. Realizing the tremendous potential in the software market, they began the challenge of digitizing the coats of arms library into clip art that can be used with various software packages. One of the results of this labourious task is the collection of high quality coats of arms now included in the Hall of Names and Houseofnames.com product lines. Swyrich enterred into several partnerships to allow the use of our clipart, and in early 1997, Swyrich clipart and name histories were incorporated into CorelDraw 7 and Corel Family Tree Suite.
In 1997, Kingpins was added to the Swyrich family of companies to properly brand our high-quality custom lapel pins in the American market place.
