What is a personal historian? A personal historian is trained to help you create and preserve family stories.

As a personal historian I can help you manage a life history project from beginning to end, lead workshops to help a group create their personal history projects, help you write an ethical will and many other projects.

What are some of the projects that I can help you with?
