WE ALSO PRODUCE

LIFE STORIES

A life story is comprehensive, spanning the memories, careers and experiences of an entire lifetime.


FAMILY HISTORIES

A Family history includes interviews and stories from an entire family group.  Although this includes genealogy as a tool, it is more personal than a Family Tree or Genealogy.

COLLECTIONS: RECIPES, FOLKLORE & TRAVEL

If creating an entire life history is daunting, consider a collection of reminiscencess on a particular subject.  These subjects can include personal travels with your memories and pictures, local folk and family tales, family recipes that evoke a story and colorful sayings of a family members.  Any of these collections can be enhanced in a hand bound book.

HOUSE HISTORY

A House history includes interviews and research into the history of a house or property.

BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORIES

Business histories record the stories and accomplishments of people who created businesses along with the evolution of the business itself. Organizational histories preserve the histories of schools, clubs, historical societies, non profit organizations, religious and ethnic groups.


What are the costs associated with these types of projects?

The cost depends on many factors.  These include the scope of the project, the amount of time, the extensiveness of the research and the number of oral interviews necessary to complete the task.  Before beginning we provide a free consultation and develop a budget and plan of operation for the task.  The plan and budget will include the prices, timeline and potential additional costs.  Depending on the scope of the project the cost can run into several thousand dollors.
