Today's San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper has an article titled "How can I preserve my family memories?" by Jennifer Davies. The article leads with:
"This time of year, family is always front and center. Instead of fixating on how aggravating they can be, focus instead on how interesting they actually are. Everyone has a story, from Grandma who lived through the Great Depression to Uncle Franklin who served in the Vietnam War."
In the article, she lists a number of local and national web sites to help persons and families perform this task. They include:
* www.SaveTheirStory.com, a San Diego company that does video oral histories by Bridget Poizner
* www.VoiceAndVideo.com, a San Diego company that rents equipment
* www.storycorps.org/record-your-story/cant-come-to-us, the national StoryCorps organization has equipment to rent
* www.DigitalStoryStation.com, a San Diego program where residents can make a three to five minute video for free
The article also mentions the "Do-it-yourself" guide at www.NationalDayOfListening.org.
This is an excellent article with good advice on how to capture your family stories.
