Documents can tell you what happened. People can tell you what it meant.
A milestone anniversary is an ideal time to capture the memories of founders, long-time employees, retirees, leaders, customers, community partners, and others who experienced important moments in the organization's history firsthand.
The Anniversary Company helps identify interview candidates, develop questions, coordinate interviews, record conversations, and shape the resulting material for future use. Oral histories can preserve institutional memory while also supplying powerful stories for anniversary communications.
Interview content may be used in videos, websites, exhibits, publications, presentations, internal communications, or archived as a permanent historical resource.
This work can stand alone or be part of a larger milestone anniversary campaign. When it is part of the broader program, we coordinate the service with your anniversary goals, messages, audiences, calendar, and other initiatives so the pieces reinforce one another.
