Oral Histories

Technology today has afforded us amazing opportunities and one of those easily accessible to you is the preservation of your family's history through oral narrative. An oral history of a family member provides rich insight that is not available solely through the written word. Hear how your elders tell the tale of their life story; the nuances in how they describe past events, moments that shaped their lives. Nothing can come close to the sound of their voice long after they have left us.

A completed oral history includes archival quality gold CDs of the recorded interview, word for word transcription of the interview along with an index of names and places, and a summary of the contents of each CD. Book binding of the project is also available.
