Every day your organization is creating history – both tangible and intangible. Are you preserving all of it? Will you be able to leverage it in the future?
The insights of your current leaders, employees and customers are just as valuable a resource as your historical documents. They provide a unique window into your organization as it exists today and in the recent past, providing a “living history” of the personality of memorable individuals, what it’s like to work for your company and how the company has reacted to outside events that shape and define an industry. Preserving that knowledge through oral history interviews is the best way to ensure your ability to leverage it in the future.
The History Factory has created Living History programs for organizations that cross vertical markets. Our Living Histories use audio, video and written transcriptions to record your organization’s corporate history and oral tradition. Our skilled oral historians ask the right questions to encourage targeted contributions – and give the participants pride in having been invited to take part in the process. The anecdotes and information obtained provide a rich historical resource. This knowledge-base can be used for everything from leadership transition, to corporate culture development, to employee training and promotional video productions, as well as exhibits and advertising.
Your major decisions, programs and events today are the history of your future. It pays to record it. Start today.
The History Factory can provide every aspect of the living history preservation process, including:
- End-to-end Project Management
- Living History Program Consulting
- Participant Selection & Coordination
- Interviewing, Transcription & Editing
- Associated Historical Research & Fact-checking
- Program Implementation
