Hand-forged life stories: custom made.

The Story Foundry makes everyday history. We believe that experiences both ordinary and remarkable are worth documenting, so we work with you to preserve the memories, stories and photographs most important to you. Our work results in archival audio recordings and hand bound books worthy of a museum, though your CD player or coffee table will do.

Our stories come from you.

You’ve lived a rich life, we help you tell about it. Whether you have always wanted to write your memoirs, or have been encouraged by family and friends, we help you manage the daunting task of telling your stories. We act as a curator for your narration, photos, journals, genealogy records, and family folklore: giving thought to the best way to preserve and present your story.

Forge a new connection to your past… and future.

The process of creating a memoir or family history helps strengthen connections with the past, but also forges bonds that will last well into the future. Whether you are 35 or 95, taking stock of where you’ve been, what you’ve done, who you’ve known helps you see what’s given your life meaning. Sharing your stories with others is a meaningful experience in its own right.

We tell short stories, too.

You don’t need to wait until “someday” to tell your stories. While we’d love to write your family saga or memoir of magnum proportions, we think starting small is also good. Documenting your pregnancy or first year of parenthood; telling the story of your wedding; chronicling your trip to Thailand; or collecting the tales from a family reunion are all stories we would love to help you tell, but no special occasion is necessary to start working with us. Contact us any time for a consultation.
