We offer a number of ways to create a personal history to meet our clients' needs and budgets. Some of these ways include:
- A Video Memoir that weaves interviews with photos, home movies and music to capture an individual’s life story.
- An Oral History that consists of an unedited video or audio taped interview.
- A Legacy Book that combines life stories with precious photographs.
- An Ethical Will written for friends and family that illuminates a person’s most important values and beliefs, life lessons and future hopes, for their decedents.
How does it work?
We like to start working with new clients by having an informal, no obligation meeting. This allows us to describe our services fully. It also allows you to ask any questions that you might have for us. If we decide to work together The Legacy Books will draw up a contract detailing our mutual commitments and the costs involved.
The basis for much of our work is a series of audio or video taped interviews. These are done usually in your home where you are most comfortable. Each session is about an hour in length and it usually takes from six to eight hours to complete the interviews. Depending on the scope of the project, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete a personal history.
