Preserving Your Family Stories with Shandra Martinez
Advertisement
Journalist Shandra Martinez, founder of Legacina, has spent over 30 years interviewing people and sharing their stories. Now, she’s focused on preserving her own family’s history. In this session, Shandra will show you how to turn old photos collecting dust in boxes into keepsake videos for future generations, using simple tools like your phone and apps like Google Scan. You’ll learn the best times to record oral histories, the kinds of questions that spark meaningful memories, and how to involve multiple generations in the storytelling process. Through real examples of families creating video stories together, you’ll see how impactful and accessible this process can be. Walk away with practical tips, easy-to-use tools, and the confidence to start preserving your family’s legacy, one story at a time.
