StoryCorps Legacy

If you could hold on to one memory from your life forever, what would that be? How has your life been different than what you’d imagined? How would you like to be remembered? Do you have any regrets?


StoryCorps Legacy provides people of all ages with serious illness and their families the opportunity to record, preserve, and share their stories by partnering with organizations across the country, including hospitals and clinics, pediatric centers, hospice and palliative care departments, and disease specific organizations. We provide trainings to prepare our partners to conduct and record interviews using equipment we provide, and we help them incorporate the StoryCorps experience into their existing services.

My Aunties
An illustration of a young white boy with a round haircut, big red glasses, and a red-and-white striped shirt, surrounded by eight white men in front of a picket fence. They are all smiling at the viewer.
