A Free Workshop: How to Record and Save Your Family's Stories

Every family has stories that live in one person's memory, and then don't. A father's first job. How your grandparents met. The year everything changed. We mean to ask, and somehow we never do.

This free workshop was about finally fixing that. Ralf gave a short talk on how to get real stories out of people, even reluctant ones, and then everyone practiced with a partner so they could do it at their own kitchen table.

What we covered

Interview techniques that open people up and get past one-word answers
What makes a life story worth listening to, and what to leave out
How to get a reluctant parent talking
A simple, low-tech way to record so nothing gets lost
