Welcome to Remembers When
A place to share your memoirs
“That’s a great story. You should write it down!”
Have you ever heard that after you’ve been talking about life “way back when?” Maybe your good old days were the 1960s, or after Viet Nam. Or maybe The Roaring 20s, after the Great Depression, or the end of World War II. Whatever the era, whatever the memories, we all have stories to tell.
Chances are you have thought about—or perhaps even begun—jotting down your family stories so they won’t be lost forever. But even if you write them down, what do you do next? Put them on a shelf in your closet? Give them to your cousin who keeps the family genealogy? Print a book for everyone at the family reunion?
There’s a better way to keep your family stories alive.
Consider Remembers When, the site for people who treasure family lore and want a place to collect and share important memories. Whether your stories are about events that helped shape the nation, or whether they describe life on a Nebraska farm without running water or electricity, these are the memories that should endure.
Get started today! The longer we wait to record these precious stories, the more likely it is that details will be lost and memories will fade. Send in the form below, or for more information click on the "Write Your Memoirs" tab above.
