With each passing generation, precious family stories are lost to time.
Writing down your story is challenging, and being interviewed on camera is intimidating. Audio recordings capture a moment in time that can live forever.
Wouldn't you love to put on your headphones and hear your beloved grandmother's voice 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?
Farrington Street Archives comes to you. We set up the microphones, record and edit the audio, and produce a private family podcast you can share with your loved ones.
Share your stories with your children and grandchildren.
It's much easier than typing up your life story - just sit down with us and have a chat!
The final product is an audio file that can be shared like your own private family podcast episode or series.
Preserve family memories for the next generation, one story at a time.
Whether they're happy, tragic, informative or inspirational, we're here to document your unique family history.
Don't have the inclination to write in a baby book? We got you!
We'll interview you every month for the first year (from the comfort of your own home via an online platform). After your child's first birthday, we'll send you a fully edited podcast documenting their first year!
It's amazing what you forget in the sleep-deprived first months. Don't let those memories slip away.
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.
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.
How does this work, exactly?
Glad you asked! We come to you, record an audio interview, and produce a fully edited digital file (your own personal podcast episode) featuring your stories. We send you a link so you can easily share with family and friends, and also save the file on 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!
How much does this cost?
We'll work with you to come up with a custom quote that fits your needs.
Single episodes start at $350, series packages start at $600, and live events start at $1,000. Prices will vary depending on how long we record, and how many people are participating.
Can we give this as a gift?
Absolutely! Put down a deposit with us, we'll send you a beautiful card to share with your loved one, and work together to produce a custom quote for your project.
We don't know much about our family history, do you offer any research options?
We love genealogy research! Utilizing historic newspapers, online genealogical databases, your family records, and other available resources, we can help fill in the blanks in your family story. Once we start digging, you'll be amazed what we find!
