Every life contains a story worth preserving. PHNN connects you with skilled memoir writers and life story specialists — often called personal historians — who transform family legacies into beautifully crafted books, videos, and recordings that will endure for generations.

Preserve Your Story

Have you thought about capturing your life story, your family's history, or the history of your organization — but aren't sure where to start? PHNN members are experienced memoir writers and videographers, oral historians, and life story specialists who guide clients from the first conversation all the way to a finished, polished product.

Whether you envision a printed memoir or family history book, a documentary-style video, or a professional audio recording of an oral history, our members have the skills to bring your vision to life. Browse the directory and reach out directly — or contact PHNN with any questions.
