Memory Man assists families to
record the precious memories of their older folk. An informal tape
recorded interview over a few hours will ensure your family has
a lifetime of memories as keepsakes forever. Memory Man will arrange
the interview, ask the questions and do all the work to produce
the oral and written histories. Recording older people’s
memories accords them time and respect while shedding light on
another time in history.
Stories are recorded on audio cassette tape or CD-Rom and
are fully logged. All tapes and disks are labeled and contain colour
photographs of the interviewee. To safeguard the recordings against
possible damage or loss, Memory Man produces a minimum of two sets
of tapes/disks, one master set and at least one copy for other
family members.
Our Standard Life Story Package includes: -
A typed
log of the topics discussed at interview, e.g. ‘my
earliest memory’, ‘school
days’, ‘my first job’, etc. There is a
separate log for each tape or disk.
- Each recording is labeled and personalized with a colour
photograph of the interviewee.
Optional extras include:
- Free Lodgment of a set of the interview tapes /

Library, in it’s database of public recordings.
- Additional sets of the tapes / disks
