Recollection brings generations together through objects, storytelling and exhibits.
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.

Start with an object and discover a story. This kit offers storytelling activities that you can do right now with anyone in close proximity. You might even get to know them better (even if you think you already know them well).
