Personal Oral History: Conversation You Can Keep
You and your loved ones have important stories
Let me help you collect and preserve them!
Step 1: Pre-Conversation
First we'll have an initial discussion in person or on the phone to decide details and get to know each other. Then you'll provide me with a personal "artifact box.' I will use these to get to know you (or your loved one) and develop conversation starters. I will also spend some time conducting background research so that I am better prepared for our conversation.
Step 2: Conversation
The Process
Next, we arrange your conversations! We'll meet and go through the artifacts box, with me prompting and asking questions to keep the memories coming!
Step 3: Post-Conversation
This is where I work with your audio and images of artifacts if you choose to include them. You sit back and relax! Let me do all the work.
