Start the Story Map See a Sample Capsule

The free Story Map Preview helps your family begin. Paid work begins when StorySitting prepares a deeper Story Map Review, guides the session, or produces the finished Story Capsule.

A guided StorySitting session with family photos, letters, an audio recorder, and a phone ready to capture memories. — Written memories, photos, voice notes, phone memories, recorder-kit audio, and guided interviews can all become part of the same Story Capsule.

What free includes

A clear beginning, not unlimited free production.

The free preview helps us understand what your family wants to preserve and recommend the best next step. A full Story Map Review, guided session, audio editing, PDF production, and finished capsule are paid work.
