Story Recording Session with StoryCorps In-Person
Everyone has a story to tell, big or small! Whether your story is about important personal moments, life-changing events, family history, personal identity, or everyday life, let StoryCorps help tell it in a guided storytelling session with a trained StoryCorps facilitator.
After the session, you will receive a digital copy of your story for you to keep. You’ll also have the opportunity to add it to the StoryCorps archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress for future generations to hear.
**There are a limited number of recording sessions available; registration is required. If you register but are unable to attend your recording session, please cancel your reservation as soon as possible via your confirmation email or by calling the library at 972-219-3570, to allow someone else to claim that time.**
Other information to know:
- Storytellers are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes early and to bring one or two people with them so that they can tell their story through conversation.
- Storytellers can be any age, but minors must be accompanied by an adult and their stories automatically remain private until the storyteller is 13 years old.
- Your phone number will be shared with the StoryCorps Mobile Tour team in late November, so they can contact you directly for an initial screening. It will not be shared or used for any other purpose.
