Interview Your Parents Before It’s Too Late

During an EraLoom workshop, participants will:

• Learn what to ask using prepared prompts aligned to the L.E.G.A.C.Y. Method™
• Experience a live demonstration of a narrated photo review
• Understand the difference between:
  • open interviews
  • predetermined storytelling
  • messages for future generations
• Gain confidence to begin recording—or to know when professional support matters

Each attendee leaves with a printable interview guide and a clearer sense of how to preserve their family’s stories.

EraLoom workshops are ideal for:

• Adult children of aging parents
• Grandparents and elders
• Genealogy and family-history enthusiasts
• Veterans and community historians
• Librarians and cultural programmers
•  Anyone who has ever thought, “I wish I’d asked more questions.”
   

No experience required.

Our workshops exist for three reasons:

1. Education before preservation
   Families deserve to understand the process before deciding how to proceed.
2. Community access
   Not every family can afford professional services - but every story matters.
3. Ethical standards
   Teaching the right way to ask and listen protects storytellers from harm.
    

Workshops are a core part of EraLoom’s give-back commitment and are tracked in our Impact Report™.
