Close your eyes and see your grandparents, 50 years ago, eating their breakfast, stepping onto the bus to go to work, reading the evening paper, laughing with friends at the local pub.

What clothes we wear is a story. What we eat is a story. How we communicate is a story. All these stories complete our larger story.

Stories can be short or long. It might only take a sentence or two to share a detail from your life, or you might have a long story to share. Either way, it’s about the story, not about how long it is.

Stories can be text, audio or video. We recommend writing out your copy and copy/paste it into our story template. Audio and video files can be uploaded into the story template. You can also add photographs to your story to help draw readers to your story.

Your stories share insights into your lifetime, in your corner of the world. They illuminate real life in your time, for your children and grandchildren.
