The Grassroots Historian

Historical Research: The Grassroots Historian (TGH) utilizes research in various archives and repositories along with oral history interviews to uncover the facts, stories, images, and perspectives that make your history unprecedented. These skills can provide you or your organization with the information needed to meet challenges and seize opportunities. They can also be utilized in crafting the National Register of Historic Places evaluations and nominations, Section 106 consultations, interpretive signage, or heritage tourism planning. Presentations/Talks: TGH offers ready-made history-focused presentations to provide you with educational enrichment. TGH can also craft presentations to deepen connections to your organization’s culture, identity, and story. It has never been more critical for your employees, visitors, or stakeholders to know who you are and where you’ve been. Nonprofits and Corporations: TGH works with various cultural nonprofit organizations to help them strategically plan for the future, connect with their members and communities, and adequately utilize their archives. As a skilled archivist and researcher, you can use these skills to build your brand and communicate with your audience. TGH explores the archives to create compelling and memorable narratives that allow for brand recognition, interactive exhibits, anniversaries, museums, and storytelling campaigns, to name a few. Family and Oral Histories: Our stories are important; whether stored in a museum, home, or the landscape around us, I can help preserve, interpret, or compile them. Your individual or family history deserves professional archival capabilities. TGH takes great care in capturing stories from individuals of advanced age to ensure their contributions are memorialized for future generations. TGH’s services can be tailored to your needs. These services include archival and preservation services, oral histories, genealogy, and documentation.
