WHY A PERSONAL HISTORY?

Each individual and each family has a special history—a composite of historical facts and personal stories—that makes us who we are. Who will keep these details and memories from becoming lost to loved ones over the years? You can, with our help.

“One faces one’s future with one’s past.”
Pearl S. Buck

Through our guided planning and interview process, we’ll encourage your stories to unfold and help you shape a legacy more precious than money—a personal history that links generation to generation.


WHAT CAN PERSONAL HISTORIES DO?

  • Create and preserve a deeper understanding of the culture that has shaped your values and beliefs
  • Capture a private family event or tradition
  • Describe the lives of past generations
  • Discover new stories and unique anecdotes
  • Memorialize a loved one
  • Animate and enliven old photos
  • Chronicle the history of a community or cultural group


HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?

The process begins in the comfort of your own home where we meet to get acquainted and where we gain an understanding of your needs and expectations. It is also a time for us to answer any questions you have about our services.

Next we discuss the specific stories, memories, events and values you wish to preserve. We will help you select the best plan and options based on your needs, present the cost of our services and establish a location and timeframe.

We offer a choice of:

  • Audio (tapes or CDs)
  • Video (VHS tapes or DVD)
  • Individually-designed Books
  • Still documentary portraits
  • Enhancement services

OF COURSE, CONFIDENTIALITY IS GUARANTEED
