Profile Information

About Me (title and/or business affiliation):

Jeff Guin grew up surrounded by a family of outdoor enthusiasts in one of the most historic and culturally diverse small towns in the South. Nurtured by this environment, his skill for storytelling through writing grew into an avocation to inspire connections to the values of heritage.

Professionals and enthusiasts working to protect our heritage find themselves frustrated by a lack of skills or resources to make a lasting change in public perception. In these circumstances, our legacy is easily neglected and potentially lost.

Through his expertise in writing, branding, design, social media and strategic communications, Jeff Guin seeks out methods to help conservation and preservation professionals protect America's historic legacy.

Jeff's passion for preservation emerged as he grew up among the historic homes and sites of Natchitoches, La., the oldest town in the Louisiana Purchase. After receiving his bachelors in Journalism and English from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, he served as a communications manager for a Fortune 500 company. His experience there included facilitating strategies to promote and protect special sites of cultural and environmental value.

These sites and the people who seek to protect them served as inspiration as he returned to his hometown and NSU to pursue a Master's degree in Folklife and Southern Culture. His research in that area examines the intersection of societal self identification and cultural context. While in graduate school, Jeff began working with a research arm of the National Park Service specializing in preservation technologies.

Jeff's experience spans print, film and broadcast media initiatives that have collectively been recognized with eight American Advertising "Addy" Awards. In addition to his corporate printed matter, he has contributed articles to publications such as CRM Journal, Louisiana Folklife and the Dictionary of Literary Biography series.

Collaborate with your family and friends to build an online family history using free genealogy tools

Historically, if you had a phobia of paper clutter, genealogy was not for you. Part of the joy of the search is to find that one certificate of birth, death, marriage, or divorce that launches your research in a totally different direction. After a while, compiling all this information so that it is in context and easily searchable gets to be a chore.

Family history software does a good job of organizing information but it lacks a critical element: collaboration. Often, folks start the genealog… Continue

At 1:07pm on September 7, 2009, Mike McCain said…: Your bousillage posting brings to mind a thesis written by Carolyn Wells which is still available to read both in the Watson Library and in the Natchitoches Parish Library. Her thesis was titled "Domestic Architecture of Colonial Natchitoches" and covered the evolution of buildings during the colonial era. For those that have not already read her work it is worth a read. Also probably available both places is "The Architecture of Colonial Louisiana: Collected Essays of Samuel Wilson, Jr." edited by Farnsworth and Masson is certainly worth time reading.

At 3:04pm on August 18, 2009, J. Matthew Hagen said…: Thanks Jeffery. It was good to meet you as well.

At 12:54pm on August 12, 2009, Doyle Bailey said…: Jeff, it was nice to see you last night at NCPTT. What a good program that was. Kirk and Dusty were great. It helped us to catch a vision of the scope of all that is going on in preservation in our community. Thank you for all you do to bring us together in this effort. Thank you for adding me to the network.

At 11:29pm on July 21, 2009, Joshua Oliver said…: Thanks for adding me Jeff. I'm thrilled that there is still hope for the Kisatchie School. The building has been in such bad shape for such a long time. I'm glad there are individuals out there who are willing to pitch in and try to help save such an important part of people's lives and history in this small community.

At 8:09am on April 1, 2009, Charlotte Hardamon Coble said…: Hi Jeff. glad to be a member. I am looking forward to meeting you some time this year... I will be down in May to visit cemeteries of my ancestors... One of which is the Hardamon cemetery, which I understand, is on private land. I am not sure who it is I need to contact to obtain permission to view the burial site. John Thomas and Nancy are buried there. If you have any clues, I would appreciate it. Thanks....

At 4:08pm on February 27, 2009, Dusty Fuqua said…: Thanks...a result of being stuck at a hotel in tupelo during superfed contracting training. Enough bureaucracy to drive me insane !

At 11:24am on November 28, 2008, Carey Blanchard said…: Jeff, I had a warm shiver go down my body last week. Now I know what it was. Glad to be on board. I will work to get the rest of the Friends group to sign up. Thank you very much for your presentation at our annual meeting. It opened my eyes, and I hope others, to the great resource the Preservation network is. Hope your turkey day was good. Carey
