Tennessee Personal Historians Form State Chapter of the Association of Personal Historians
Growing up in foster care as a neglected child, and giving back a temporary home to 25 foster children is just one moving story among many that I’ve encountered since becoming a personal historian. A self-taught electrician who convinced people to use electricity; a young coed hearing the shots that heralded the integration at the University of Mississippi; a researcher whose proposals influenced poverty policy; and a preacher whose church was persecuted to the point of going down in flames, are all personal stories that people have shared with me this year. Amazing, moving, poignant. The significance is there for family and more, and made easily accessible to future generations. That’s what I love about personal history: life’s lessons from the horse’s mouth.
~ Deborah Wilbrink, Perfect Memoirs, Nashville
Personal historians help others to share and save their stories for coming generations. We all have a need to remember our lives, to make personal sense of the world around us, and to pass our life lessons on to new generations. Members of the Association of Personal Historians help other people create books and videos of their personal, family, business, and community histories. Members’ skills include interviewing, writing, and production of these personal histories.
Tennessee’s personal historians are meeting to organize a state chapter of the APH on February 23, 2013 at 1 p.m. at the 212 Market Restaurant in Chattanooga. Members of the international organization are coming from Nashville, Franklin, Knoxville, Sewanee, and Mosheim/Tri-Cities. The Association of Personal Historians gives its members a chance to advance their talents, skills, and professional knowledge in their work of saving these stories. Founded in 1995, its 625 members represent 11 countries, including the United States. Regions Director Dawn Thurston is looking forward to a new state chapter in Tennessee. “Other state chapters have regular meetings, collaborate on personal history projects, and participate in community outreach events. It seems to be a win-win situation for everyone. I'd like to see Tennessee members have a similar opportunity,” she reports.
Interested in learning more about how to best save your story or family history? The public is welcome to bring their questions and interests to
