REAL LIFE RECORDINGS
Real Life Recordings provides a distinctive life story recording service to the individual and their family. It is an enjoyable way to preserve our precious personal memories. So much in life has changed over the years and it is revealing to hear about very different ways of life. Many people attempt to write down their life stories, but they often find it rather difficult to express all their details and feelings.
Real Life Recordings can ease the process by sound recording a person's life story in their own home in conversation with oral historian, Lorna Baker. The experience of sharing memories is always a positive one. The end product, for the family to keep, is an individual's unique memories recorded and available in a format easy for future generations to listen to and cherish.
Recording of oral history has become very popular since the middle of the twentieth century - when recording equipment became more widely available. Among the collectors today are academics, museum staff, librarians, and members of local organisations all of whom value oral history. These collections are often available to the public.
However, when your life story is recorded by Real Life Recordings, it is solely for your own enjoyment. We will professionally record your personal, unique memories for your private family archive. You will have a set of personalised CDs to hand on to future generations.
Lorna Baker also gives talks and provides training and recording services to local history groups, oral history societies and professional collectors.
