Preserve your legacy.
Share your life - your history - with the
generations to come.
Have you ever wondered who your great-grandparents really were, or their
parents before them? More than just their names, nationality or
occupations, but why they settled when and where they did? How did
the politics and economy of their day influence their opportunities and
decisions? Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have our loved
ones' letters, diaries and journals that help shed light on some of
these questions, providing greater depth and insight into our past.
Ironically, we often fail to appreciate how our own experiences - our
own lives - are also carried forward to future generations in the exact
same way that our ancestors' were to us. Most of us have not
thought to record or preserve our own history now while it is still
fresh in our minds. How thrilling would it be if you could hear
your great-great grandfather describe his very first day of
school? Or how he met and fell in love with your great-great
grandmother? You can provide your descendants that same
excitement, that same feeling of awe in connecting with their past, by
recording your own oral history and preserving your legacy.
Each of us informs history. We are the people who comprise the very
events of our own generation. Our histories affect and influence the
lives of those who come after us. Preserve your moment in time, tell
your story in your own words and from your own heart.
