Every life has a story worth preserving.
Over the years, we tell our children our stories in bits and pieces — and at the time, they don't have much interest in it. But as I've gotten older, my kids have gotten curious. About my history, my wife's history, our family's history.
That's what led me here. I built BCS Memory Box so people can record their life story simply — and so their children and grandchildren have an archive of their family and where they came from.
— Ken Baker, Founder
You talk. I polish. The stories last.
- Record your stories in your own voice — no typing, no complicated technology.
- Gentle and self-paced — record on the phone, tablet, or computer you already own.
- Stories saved privately and shared only with your family.
- A keepsake that lasts — on USB, online, or as a printed book.
Your story, in four parts.
Family and Origins
Parents, grandparents, dates of birth and dates of death — the people you came from.
Early Childhood
What you did, the activities, the world you grew up in.
Family Life
Stories about your children, family activities, the vacations you took.
Reflections
Likes and dislikes, what people meant to you, who you are and how you see things.
You record one section at a time, in your own time, on your phone, tablet, or computer. Send me the recordings — I clean them up into polished prose with grammar, spelling, and flow. Your story takes shape section by section. No interview, no schedule, no rush.
