Welcome to Shared Stories!
Shared Stories is a community project that celebrates the lives of seniors through conversation and storytelling. By interviewing older adults and compiling their memories into printed keepsake books, the project helps preserve personal histories that might otherwise be forgotten.
Each book features stories, advice, favorite memories, photographs, and reflections from seniors in the community. The finished books are shared with participants, families, and senior centers as a lasting record of their experiences.
6 books printed
120+ seniors interviewed
