StoryCorps Hundreds of people have visited the small recording booth in Grand Central Station and recorded a portion of their life story. It's made a huge difference in these peoples' lives.StoryCorps is one of those small dreams that has yielded some great results. These results are not measured so much in dollars and cents as they are in the priceless memories they've preserved for so many. A booth if Grand Central Station, one of the busiest places in the world and an ideal location for busy commuters and travelers in New York city, allows you to enter and record up to a one hour session for just $10. You leave with a CD recording of the session and you also have the opportunity for your story to be added to the StoryCorps Archives, housed at the Library of Congress. What a great way to take that first real step to preserving your life story. It's fun and easy and you get the help of a trained facilitator. The recording is done in a StoryBooth - a soundproof environment where you can record your story or the stories of your loved ones. The
web site is full of powerful testimonials. You can even listen to some
of the recordings. StoryCorps
is a national project to instruct and inspire Americans to record each
other's stories in sound.
If you want to participate you can do it at the booth location, but there are other ways if you can't go there. Although StoryCorps is just a little over a year old they have made great strides on a shoestring budget. The project has caught the attention of the media, including National Public Radio. We are proud to have previously featured StoryCorps as a Your Life is Your Story "Highlight Site".
