Sharing Our Collective Memories

The Remembering Site is for all of us who want to write and publish our life memories, experiences, memoirs, or autobiographies but have been overwhelmed at the prospect. The site does charge a one-time registration fee, but it contains over one thousand evocative, story-telling questions to lead you through the process.

Anyone can tell their story when they know what questions to ask themselves. The answers are inside you. Read a question and the answer is there. It's easy. It's fun. There are no rules. Tell your story in your own voice. Only you can.

The collective memory of our society is not written in history books. It is the story of all of our lives; what happens in our living rooms and in our back yards. The Remembering Site helps you capture your memories, photos, and experiences to share with posterity; to create an Internet-based anthology of personal histories so we may learn from one another.

The goal of The Remembering Site is to make it easy for anyone, anywhere to write and share his or her autobiography. Since its launch in 2004, people from around the world have registered at the site to write their life stories. People from Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Cuba, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Philippines, Sudan, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Because everyone has lived an interesting life.

The site encourages each and every one of us to write and publish our memories and experiences to share with our families and future generations, to add to the collective memory, and to enter a global conversation about the moments in our lives.

The Remembering Site is a non-profit initiative in partnership with Women with 2020 Vision, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. For more information, visit www.therememberingsite.org.
