Circle of Life Stories is a professional life history recording service for individuals, families, organizations, and communities.
Life
stories inform, inspire, nurture, and make connections across the
generations. Stories from the past can put events into perspective and
communicate meaning to one's loved ones and descendents.
Oral Histories
Oral history interviews are an excellent tool to capture the past. The
voices of your family elders are stored on audio or video recordings
and preserved for future generations.
We
can transcribe the interviews and add scans of your photos and
memorabilia to create a priceless book to accompany the recordings. We
can also preserve your memories in digital format on CD
or DVD.
Memory Books
Memory Books are a wonderful way to celebrate a life. Memory books can
bring together memories about a person, a pet, an event, a place, such
as a last summer's vacation, or an heirloom, such as your Great Aunt
Theresa's priceless tea set.
Community Histories
Shared stories bring communities together across ethnic, generational,
social and economic boundaries. The stories give voice to the community
members and help define the community through revealing shared past
experiences. We provide consultation on all aspects of community
history projects, including procedures, equipment, training, and
project planning.
Business/Organizational Histories
Essential information about your organization or business is lost
daily. Your organization's history lives in the minds of you, your
employees and members. By preserving those memories, you bring your
organization's history to life for employees, members and constituents.
Your history reflects your unique development and heritage. Your
business or organization's history can be documented in print, video or
multimedia.
Reunions/Conferences
Reunions are a wonderful time to capture family history, since so many
family members are together. We will interview your family members at
your reunion, leaving you to relax and enjoy the gathering.
National and regional conferences provide a similar opportunity to gather memories from members of businesses and organizations.
Writing/Editing
We can help you write your life stories. Maybe you don't know where to
start? Or you need some help getting unstuck? We can help you at every
stage, from initial planning through final editing to publication.
Life Writing Workshops
Life writing workshops based on Denis Ledoux's book Turning Memories into Memoirs and the Soleil Lifestory Network program.
