Botique interview initiative memorializing everyday family stories
for current & future generations!
The Late Life Archive is an initiative that preserves family elder stories with audio & video interviews. Each participant receives the time & attention they deserve with in-person meetings & multiple sessions available.
In a day when everything is done online, our family elders are being left to themselves, even to share their life stories. The human connection has been pivotal to the success of this interview initiative & yields incredibly intimate recollections of each person’s life.
