This course invites you to explore and tell your family’s story—preserving the voices, experiences, and memories that shaped your family and who you are today. Each session will begin with an introduction to a central topic—such as recovering lost histories, conducting interviews, and finding your narrative voice—followed by discussion. You’ll also learn how to create a timeline, build a family tree, outline your project, and preserve and organize documents, photographs, audio recordings, and videos to enrich your narrative. Each week, participants will share their work in progress and receive supportive feedback from the group. By the end of the course, you’ll be well on your way to creating and sharing a story that honors your family’s legacy and brings its history to life for future generations.

This course will combine lecture with class discussions.
