You can start by recording a bedtime story for your grandchild, niece or nephew to enjoy.

Saving Memories Forever is a working prototype for easily recording and preserving personal stories, voices and memories.

Recording an entire life story can feel overwhelming. Recording a bedtime story, a family story, a song or a personal message for a child in the family is much easier. It could be for a grandchild, a niece or nephew, or any young person you care about.

The recording can be enjoyed now, and it also preserves that person's voice and story for the future.

Saving Memories Forever is free to use.

How it works

There is no special equipment required.

  1. Choose a question.
  2. Record your answer using your phone or computer.
  3. Save the recording.
  4. Share it with the people you love.

Your voice tells your story in a way photographs and written records cannot. Saving Memories Forever provides simple questions that help you remember and record the experiences, people and moments that matter.
