How to Preserve Oral History for Future Generations

Send us a text

"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the powerful process of preserving your life stories and family history. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re focusing on a timeless tradition that’s becoming more important than ever—preserving oral histories for future generations.

Before we had books, blogs, or digital records, we had voices. Around kitchen tables, on front porches, or gathered around a fire, people told stories. Stories that passed down culture, values, survival, identity. That oral tradition is still one of the richest ways to share who we are and where we come from—but only if we take the time to capture it.

Today, I’m going to walk you through why oral history matters, how to collect it meaningfully, and how you can preserve those recorded voices—not just as information, but as living legacy.
