Understanding the service

What does a “commissioned, done-with-you” project mean?

The family contributes the knowledge and meaningful decisions; Kin & Chronicle manages the editorial and publishing work needed to produce a coherent result.

Your family contributes knowledge, material, and meaningful decisions. We organize the sources, ask focused follow-up questions, write and edit the narrative, and carry the work through design, production, and the agreed archive return. One family coordinator helps with introductions and decisions, but is not expected to know every story or write the history. The written commission scope defines the work around your family.

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.
