Record the Conversation of a Lifetime

Record the Conversation of a Lifetime

Since 2003, StoryCorps has built the largest collection of human voices ever archived — and we want to add yours. Our mission is to build connections, encourage compassion between people, and share stories, big and small. Have an incredible story to tell? Want to have a meaningful talk with someone important in your life? We’d love for you to join in and preserve your voice for future generations. It’s simple to get started!

You and your partner can record a conversation either using StoryCorps’ self directed recording tools or at one of the StoryCorps recording sites.

StoryCorps and Underrepresented Voices

StoryCorps is committed to recording, preserving and amplifying the voices of underrepresented groups. We strive to share stories from people with different backgrounds and experiences. Explore stories from our collections and add your voice to one of our special recording projects.
