The Memories Institute

Corporate Histories
Corporate histories honor the hard working individuals who have laid the foundation to create all that your organization is today. By telling their stories in the form of a video, hard bound book, enhanced brochure or other formats, you highlight your uniqueness and instill confidence in the marketplace that you are a company that’s “here to stay”. And you build commitment from your employees.

Heritage Displays
The facilities in which you conduct business provide unique opportunities to reinforce your corporate culture and identity. Through the use of narrative text, photographs and artifacts, heritage displays artfully depict significant events that have helped shaped things and build your employees pride as well as impress your customers.

Oral Histories and Personal Memoirs
Oral histories are transcribed documents of audio or video recorded interviews. There is something deeply powerful in reading the word by word recounts of the narrator as he/she tell the stories of yesteryear that provide living history. For family members, memories of childhood and practical jokes played provide wonderful stories for future generations to cherish. For organizations, these histories provide the insiders view and lessons learned.

Ethical - Spiritual Wills
This is the opportunity to give a final gift to those you care about—whether you are a departing CEO or a grandmother writing to her grandchildren. Here is where you provide your thoughts about lessons learned, what you want others to value, how you want them to conduct themselves. An ethical-spiritual will is a wonderful way to express oneself, particularly for those who have trouble expressing their deepest thoughts out loud.
