Founded in 2003, StoryCorps has given Americans in towns and cities in all 50 states the chance to record interviews about their lives. The organization preserves the recordings in its archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered, and shares select stories with the public through StoryCorps' podcast, NPR broadcasts, animated shorts, digital platforms, and best-selling books. These powerful human stories reflect the vast range of American experiences, wisdom and values; engender empathy and connection; and remind us how much more we have in common than divides us.
In 2010, understanding the importance of storytelling and listening for people with serious illness, StoryCorps launched Legacy to provide patients, their families, and caregivers with meaningful opportunities to share, record, and preserve their stories. Since its launch, Legacy has established partnerships with over 60 organizations that serve people with serious illness to record over 2,000 stories with their community members.
