CollectiveStory.com
CollectiveStory is a publishing tool, for groups which would like to reminisce and record facts, events or episodes from the history of a community. It may be a family (or extended family), a church, a school, a company, or any other community about which the participants would like to remember and tell a story. Joining the site is free.
For all of us there is a twilight zone between history and memory;
between the past as a generalised record which is open to relatively
disspassionate inspection and the past as a remembered part of, or background
to, one\'s own life.
For individual human beings this zone stretches from the
point where living family traditions or memories begin - say, from the earliest
family photo which the oldest living family member can identify or explicate -
to the end of infancy, when public and private destinies are recognised as
inseparable and as mutually defining one another.
