Oral History Services

Everybody has a story to tell. From my 15 years as an Oral Historian, I have found one of the greatest gifts to give someone is to just listen. Oral History is an opportunity and a platform to share life stories and create a legacy that lasts. Brownstone Therapeutics offers convenient and affordable ways to document loved ones' life stories or your own. Through DVD or written form, I can capture someone's story for present and future generations to enjoy.
