Collecting Family Stories
“When an elder dies, a library is lost"
A FREE, short 1 hour, workshop to help with ideas for collecting
your family stories, your own or other family members.
• Have you recently lost a family member and are wishing you had written
down some of those great stories?
• Have you recorded your own stories for your children or grandchildren?
Don’t you think they would like to have some of your memories?
• Do you have pictures you can’t identify? Well here’s an idea to help make
that less of a problem in the future for your family.
It’s a simple workshop. We will share some ideas on “getting your family to talk”
and some different ways to record your family stories.
Workshop Presentor: Chester Weems is a retired educator and storyteller.
He tells family and humerous stories, though he admits sometimes he does not let
accuracy get in the way of a good story.
