StoryCorps

How often do we get to ask a loved one, "What was the happiest moment of your life?" "What are you most proud of?" or "How do you want to be remembered?" Occasions rarely arise for shared reflection in everyday life, but StoryCorps - the most ambitious oral history project in American history - is recording these meaningful conversations and ensuring that our stories live on for generations to come.
