StoryCorps in Atlanta

Since 2013, StoryCorps has recorded the voices of Atlanta through our recording booth located in the Atlanta History Center. We have facilitated thousands of conversations and have preserved them in the Library of Congress. 

For great tips on how to prepare for your recording go to our What to Expect page. We also have a list of Great Questions you can use in your interview.

What to Expect

Please review the community guidelines we have in place to see what we are doing to keep you and our staff members safe. Upon arrival, we require the following:

• All participants and StoryCorps staff will wear masks fastened snugly over their noses and mouths when interacting in the greeting area and while in the recording space. StoryCorps will provide masks if needed.

• All non-household groups agree to maintain social distancing. Participants who choose not to distance, do so at their own risk. All StoryCorps staff will maintain a 6-foot distance from participants at all times. 

• Prior to their interview, all participants will be asked to complete a health acknowledgement form to screen for COVID-19 exposure and symptoms and sign an acknowledgement of risk form.

• All participants agree to cancel their interview if they are feeling ill or have tested positive for COVID-19 within two (2) weeks of the Recording Day. If a participant is exhibiting symptoms upon arrival, StoryCorps staff will be required to cancel the interview appointment.

Become A Community Partner

Our goal is to make the StoryCorps recording experience accessible to all. One way we do that is by partnering with local organizations that serve diverse populations. StoryCorps interviews celebrate the voices and milestones in your community and encourage meaningful interactions between your organization and the people you serve. Community partnerships are free of charge, and conversations can be recorded in any language.
