The conversation
It starts with a conversation. We help you prepare for it — questions shaped around who you are interviewing, where they are from, what you already know, what you want to preserve. Questions that invite memory rather than demand it. Questions you can take into the room.
Or start with yourself
Not every testimony begins with someone else asking the questions. Some people come to Still Here because they have decided it is time to record their own story — in their own words, on their own terms, for the people who will want to know who they were. If that is you, our guide to recording your own story covers everything you need.
The recording
You record on whatever you have. A phone is enough. We guide you through the setup so the result is something worth keeping — good light, clear sound, the person comfortable and unhurried. The recording belongs to you and your family. It always will.
The archive
What you capture goes into your family vault — a private, secure archive accessible only to the people you choose. Not a social platform. Not a public gallery. A family record, held carefully, available when it matters. The vault is where the testimony lives beyond the conversation. Future generations will find it there — not scratch marks on a screen, but a voice, a face, a person still present.
What Still Here is not
It is not a genealogy database. It is not a DNA service. It is the part of the family record that no database was ever built to keep.
Getting started
The first step is the conversation you keep meaning to have. Still Here helps you have it.
