Storytelling

Providing a platform to share stories reduces isolation, connects across generations and other divides, and celebrates creativity.

Objects

Objects are conversation starters. They can connect us to the every day, to each other, and to memories of places, experiences and people.

Exhibits

Documenting and sharing objects and stories in an exhibit format validates and values people and their contributions to our collective family and community histories.
