Personal Histories and Life Stories
"Leave for your descendants what you wish
your ancestors had left for you"
Looking
for that perfect gift for a milestone birthday, anniversary,
retirement, or other special event? What kind of record about your
life are you leaving for your descendants? No one can tell the
story of your life better than you. While you’re leaving a paper
trail of your life in official documents, those don’t tell your
family and descendants about your personality and your life story.
There is only one “you” who will ever walk this earth. Do you
really want to leave it without leaving a lasting personal story
for your descendants? It’s true that to the world you are just one
person. But to one person at least, you are the world. Tell them
your story.
A personal history or life story records your memories, giving a
vivid portrait of your life. It can be as limited or comprehensive
at you want, focusing on a particular time in your life or
covering your whole life. It can incorporate your family history
or a business history. It’s really up to you. As your Personal
Historians, we’ll help you define the scope of your project, then
manage it from beginning to completion.
We will travel to you or your family members to conduct a series
of interviews and to scan photographs you’d like included. We’ll
audio and video tape the interview, then have the audio tape
transcribed. From there, we’ll edit your story, place the
photographs, and turn your interview transcripts into a printed
personal history—a legacy for your family. We can also give you
the option of preserving and sharing your story in a video or
multi-media format.
