Oral History
Some of our family's richest history has never been written down — it lives in the voices of those who remember. Record an elder, an aunt, an uncle, or yourself, and preserve those voices for the generations to come.
Why oral history? A photograph shows a face, but a voice carries a laugh, an accent, a turn of phrase, and a story told the way only that person could tell it. Once captured, these recordings become one of the most treasured parts of our legacy.
