StoryCorps is an independent non-profit project. Our mission is to honor and celebrate one another's lives through listening.

Since 2003, almost 30,000 everyday people have shared life experiences with family and friends in our StoryBooths. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD and is preserved at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to our broadcasts on public radio and the web. StoryCorps is the largest oral history project of its kind.

Everybody's story matters. Every life counts. Help us reach out to record our history, hopes, and common humanity—and illuminate the true character of this nation.
