- Memories

We offer a unique individual service that includes all the information and guidance needed to build your life story memory by memory. You will receive regular meetings with a trained interviewer who will record your memories as you tell them verbally. We then transform your spoken words into your life story, keeping as close to your own words as possible so that it is your voice that is heard when reading your story.
