A Story Day is an in-person gathering — hosted in your city and guided by our team — where neighbors come together to record and preserve the stories that make up their community. Sponsor one, and help those voices take their place in the American record.
Your sponsorship covers the people, tools, and care it takes to gather a community and preserve its stories with dignity.
A welcoming, in-person event in your community — a library, center, museum, or place of worship — open to neighbors of every generation.
Our team brings the prompts, equipment, and know-how to capture oral histories with clear consent and privacy throughout.
Every story preserved that day is added to the growing archive — part of the record the future museum is built upon.
Tell us about your community and how you’d like to help, and our team will follow up to plan a Story Day with you.
