Family participation

Does everyone have to participate?

No. We plan the project around willing participants and appropriate permissions.

Different relatives may contribute in different ways, and some may choose not to participate. We discuss whose voices matter to the intended story, what material may be used, and how review will work. An absent voice is not permission to invent an account on that person’s behalf.

Your family will be different

A few sentences are enough to begin.

A Story Map begins with a conversation about your family, the people who may participate, and the material you have. If the fit is right, we develop a custom commission scope.
