What The Legacies Project is about

We live in a unique age. Never before has it been so easy for any of us to leave a record of who we are, what we think and feel, and what our values and dreams are. The ease of modern media, the internet, blogging, video and such means that we can touch people in ways that just a few years ago were impossible or incredibly difficult.

Biographers have been keeping records of the lives of the famous and influential for centuries, and some have written autobiographies. Many have kept journals and diaries over the years, but only now has it become so easy to tell one's own story in one's own words, and leave that recording for posterity.

The Legacies Project aims to facilitate that.
