What is an oral history?
Oral history interviews record an individual’s life story on video. The primary aim is to preserve an individual’s life story. Secondary uses for oral history interviews are: documentary clips, an educational resource, and engaging social media content. We use professional video, audio and lighting equipment to ensure the highest quality. After 12 years of doing oral histories full time, and with over 200 oral histories completed, you can trust us to ensure a smooth process.
Why record an oral history?
Stories serve as powerful legacies, preserving valuable lessons from one generation to the next. They have the unique ability to connect us, fostering empathy by letting us experience the world from different perspectives. When oral histories are recorded, these stories can transcend time, continuing to resonate and inspire for years to come.
Utopia Unveiled Documentary
We recently teamed up with the Nelson Museum, Archives and Gallery to produce a short documentary. This project consisted of nine oral history interviews with people who lived in intentional communities in the region. Take a look!
