Family stories are among the most important and valuable things in life - but are so easily lost to time.
Wouldn't you love to put on your headphones, head out for a walk, and hear your beloved great-grandmother talking about her childhood? Or hear your now high school senior's squeaky 6-year-old voice telling the unintentionally hilarious story of his first day of kindergarten?
Partner with Farrington Street Archives to capture audio recordings of your family stories, and give yourself the gift of a moment in time you want to remember forever.
Or maybe you're looking to uncover stories that have been lost across the generations, and learn more about your family history. We can help with that too! It's amazing what's out there just waiting to be rediscovered.
Preserve family memories for the next generation, one story at a time.
Whether they're happy, tragic, informative or inspirational, we're here to help reserach and document your unique family history.
Share your stories with your children and grandchildren.
So much easier than typing up your life story - just sit down with us and have a chat! The final product could be a printed book, an audio file (like a podcast episode about your life), or a combination of both.
Don't have the inclination to write in a baby book? We got you!
We'll interview you every month for the first year. Get a brief audio snapshot of each month to share with family and friends, and then after your child's first birthday, we'll send you a fully edited podcast documenting their first year!
The days are long, but the years are short. Capture this moment in time (and the sound of their cute little kid voice) to return to later.
Pick a time of year (their birthday month or maybe the start of a new school year) and we'll interview your child.
Once in a lifetime moments fly by so fast. Let your guests leave a record you can return to year after year.Â
Breaking out a video cameras can make people uncomfortable, but speaking into a microphone is less intimidating. Whether it's a graduation party, wedding, retirement, or celebration of life - we can be there to gather the stories you'll want to hear again.
If we choose an audio format - how does that work, exactly?
Glad you asked! We come to you, record an audio interview, and produce a fully edited digital file (like your own personal podcast episode) featuring your stories. We send you a link so you can easily share with family and friends, and save the file to your computer for your digital family archive.
For example, depending on the type of package you select, we can set up a microphone to interview your grandma at her kitchen table, or three microphones on stands in your living room to interview you and your kindergartner, or go table to table at your wedding - always collecting stories and memories as we go!
If we choose a family history research option - what types of sources do you use?
We utilize historic newspapers, online genealogical databases, your family records - in short, anything and everything that's available. Once we start digging, you'll be amazed what we find!
