We URGE ALL FAMILIES, to Interview, Record, or Video your elders sooner than later. RECORD ASAP so these stories are not lost.
Written, Recorded, or Video Memories, Stories, Memoirs and Oral Histories
The few that we have are priceless. Sadly we’ve already lost many of our older generations, but still our living elders remember so much!
We have learned from experience, that our Elders never think that any old memories of theirs, or anything they have to say, would be of interest to anyone, but they are so mistaken!
for telephone interviews, you can Record with a Smart Phone or other recording device. In the past, I used an APP called TapeACall Pro that I downloaded from App Store.
Nominal $. It worked well for recording phone interviews.
