TESTIMONIALS

Hear From Those I Have Worked With

"I had the pleasure of working with Holley on a book project. She is the most organized, creative and efficient young person I know. She has impeccable moral character and credentials. I wish I could hire her as my personal CEO!"

Lydia Cornell
AFI Best Actress Nominee, Director, Producer, Advocate, Inspirational Public Speaker

"Holley is a first rate researcher. She took on a complicated project for me that identified and located over one hundred missing historic photos for an important exhibit.  Her resourcefulness and determination delivered results I never imagined possible."

Frank Futral
Curator, Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites

"With enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism, Holley Snaith approaches her work bringing American history and historical figures to life.  A passion for history has brought Holley to understand the background stories that provide in-depth understanding of historical events."

Nina R.Gibson, PhD

"Holley's work ethic and dedication to telling not only a detailed portrait of Pat Nixon, but one that showed the First Lady's warmth and genuine compassion, shined through in her exhibit. Proudly displayed at the University of Southern California's Town and Gown hall, her hard work and research skills were on full display in the exhibit she researched, designed and created - utilizing facsimile prints and archival memorabilia. Any project Holley Snaith is apart of, you know you're getting a professional individual whose knowledge of history shines through."

Amanda Larsh
Associate Producer

"Holley Snaith is a passionate historian who has a tremendous depth of knowledge about the 20th century, especially about U.S. presidents. I have depended on her as a researcher at the FDR Presidential Library for a biography I wrote, and she helped me fill in some missing holes and correct mistakes before my book went to press. Anyone would be fortunate to have this talented young woman on their team."

Kathryn Smith

Biographer, The Gatekeeper and Gertie

“I had the privilege of working with Holley during my tenure at Roosevelt-Vanderbilt-Van Buren National Historic Sites.  Holley is a dedicated individual with a great work ethic.  She conducts her work in a professional manner and is a team player.  Holley led a project for the National Park Service to accurately research and document curatorial resources to restore Eleanor Roosevelt’s Val-Kill National Historic Site to its original historic fabric.  Her energy and optimistic approach to her work is great to be around.”

Sean Patrick Brennan
Chief US Park Ranger (Retired), National Park Service

"I had the distinct pleasure of working with Holley on a book project with (hopefully) more to soon follow. Her attention to detail was well appreciated and her suggested edits were spot-on! Holley turned my oft-times hurried writing into a credible and reputable story. Since my subject matter is related to Disney, they have high standards to meet in their accepted publications. Thanks to Holley, the project was able to meet that bar."

Donald W. Ballard
Author, Researcher, Historian

"I had the pleasure of having Holley as a guest on my history podcast. I had a wonderful time talking with her! Not only was I very impressed by the knowledge and obvious passion she has for history, but I was also impressed by her professionalism. During our conversation, we spoke about her career as a historian, and the respect she has for the all people she’s studied and the projects she’s worked on really shines through, and is truly inspiring."

April Nordyke

"Since meeting Holley Snaith in 2021, I've been continually impressed by her passion for history and her dedication to her craft. Her deep respect for the historical figures she researches, especially the Roosevelts, is evident in every aspect of her work. Holley has an extraordinary gift for bringing history to life through her compelling narratives and meticulous attention to detail.

What sets Holley apart is her combination of professionalism and genuine enthusiasm for sharing knowledge. This makes her an invaluable resource in the field of 20th-century American history. It's clear that for Holley, preserving and promoting historical legacies isn't just a career – it's a calling that she fulfills with remarkable grace and expertise.

 

Holley's work not only educates but inspires, reminding us of the importance of understanding our past. Her contributions to historical research and education are truly significant, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work alongside her and call her a friend."

She brings her subjects to life in a way that is truly captivating. Whether writing about artists, musicians, actors, or presidents, Holley has a gift for illuminating the human side of history, and connecting readers with the fascinating stories of those who have shaped our world.
