Your Keepsake — $79

Your memories—short or long—are recorded and shaped into a beautiful book.

We can talk for up to two hours, and our interview becomes a generational keepsake.

And get this—your grandchildren can hear your voice as you tell your stories! Your audio recordings are linked inside your book by QR codes! (Your grandkids know what those are.)

When your family scans the QR code, they will hear you telling your story as they read along!

Your keepsake book is printed in hardcover, 6x9 size.

See my own short story: My True Love

Your first book is included. No strings attached. Additional copies are just $79.

QR Codes

Each story begins with a QR code that links to the original audio of you telling that story.

We used to keep these recordings at StoryCorps but now save them at the Internet Archive (archive.org) for archival reasons. As long as there is an Internet, there will be the Internet Archive. It's the most "forever" place on the Internet.
