Preserve Your Legacy with Houke’s Oral History Services

At Houke’s Oral History Services, our mission is to preserve the historical legacies of individuals, families, and communities; and to document events and historical eras by recording the stories of the people who have participated in and experienced them.

What is Oral History?
Oral history is a way of capturing history through interviews, allowing people to reflect on their lives and share their memories in their own words. It is not just about the past. It is about creating a lasting legacy for the future. Imagine your loved ones hearing your voice as you recount the moments that shaped your life, complete with the emotions that make your story truly yours.

Preserve Your Legacy and the Stories of Your Community

Do you want to leave a lasting legacy for future generations? An oral history captures more than just words. It preserves your voice, emotions, and reflections for your loved ones to treasure.

Additionally, many institutions do not have the in-house capacity to develop oral history projects. We are willing to offer our services at an affordable rate in partnership with local archives and communities.

Some examples of stories we can help you preserve include:

  • Living Through History: Reflect on life during significant events like the Civil Rights Movement, a major war, or other transformative periods.
  • War Stories: Leave behind your experiences and insights for historians, family, and future generations.
  • Immigration Journeys: Share your experiences of moving to a new country and building a life in a new home.
  • Cultural Heritage: Celebrate your ethnic and national heritage by sharing how it shaped your life and values.

No story is too big or small to be remembered. Let us help you share what matters most to you.
