Do you, your family, or community have an important story to tell to a larger audience? Do you have special photographs, keepsakes, or heirlooms in your possession that you would like to share with others? Are there histories that you and your community are stewarding that you want to preserve for future generations? Is your group working towards the recognition of a historically meaningful person or event? These are all great reasons to begin a storytelling project.
