Background

About Kyle Griffith

I grew up in home of five generations in a small tobacco farming community in southern Virginia. In pursuing my passion for history, I received a Bachelor's Degree in Historic Preservation from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. Now I specialize in the historic preservation of rural American culture and architecture. My personal business,"Griffith Preservation" offers a wide range of services available, primary historic resources to read, a virtual museum, a portfolio of my work, and a store to sell my products. Visit my site at griffithpreservation.com. I am actively seeking opportunities with organizations where I can leverage my expertise in collections management, artifact documentation, historic property surveying, document scanning, genealogy research, deed research, and the transcription of historical records. My diverse skill set also includes creative and academic writing, graphic design, digital photo restoration, traditional drawn portraits in the style of realism, and digital art such as mapmaking, all of which I am keen to apply in a professional context. Examples of potential contributions include writing and publishing articles and booklets, creating visually compelling event banners, advertisements, and merchandise such as calendars or stationery. With experience working in a museum setting, designing museum exhibits, label writing, and curatorial work, I am well-equipped to enhance any museum or historical project. Additionally, I am available for engagements as a speaker, offering presentations tailored to the interests of historical societies, libraries, and similar organizations. I am particularly inspired by the work of Preservation Virginia and the Department of Historic Resources. For further information or to discuss potential collaboration, please reach out to me via email. I am eager to contribute to historic preservation efforts and work together.
