Life Histories
Each of us has a story that is uniquely ours. Give your loved ones and future generations the gift of your experience and knowledge. Tell your story and preserve the history that only you can.
Our skilled oral historian will guide you in an in-depth, relaxed interview. Then Story Lines will create one or more of the following:
Life History Transcript—A bound transcript of the interview in the original question-and-answer format, lightly edited for accuracy. Includes descriptive table of contents, photographs, and meaningful documents of your choice, such as birth certificates and love letters.
Life History Narrative—The interview shaped into a cohesive and compelling written narrative. Includes chapters, photographs, and meaningful documents of your choice, such as birth certificates and love letters. Custom-bound, heirloom-quality book.
Video biography—A movie of your life story. Interview highlights are edited with titles, photographs, documents, and music to create an engaging video portrait.
At Story Lines, we’re happy to work with you and your family to develop the perfect project, customized to fit your needs. Let us know what you’re imagining—a video documentary about Grandma’s life, a written tribute to your college grad, an elegant anniversary book to commemorate 50 years of marriage—and we’ll make it happen.
