About Us
Preserving Memories, Sharing Stories
Welcome to Recollect, where we believe that every life is a story worth sharing and preserving. Founded with a passion for capturing the essence of individual journeys, Recollect is dedicated to recording and preserving personal histories through intimate interviews.
Our Founder
Recollect was born from the vision of our founder, Max, a storyteller at heart with a profound appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experiences. Max lost his father at the tender age of 11, a loss that profoundly impacted his life. This personal experience highlighted the importance of preserving memories, as his wife and children never had the chance to know his father or understand the qualities and traits they share with him.
Driven by this realisation, Max set out to create a platform where the voices and stories of our loved ones could be recorded and cherished forever. His goal is to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to connect with their ancestors, understanding their heritage and the legacies that shape their lives.
Our Mission
At Recollect, our mission is to preserve the personal histories that define us, connect us, and inspire us. We believe that by capturing the voices and stories of individuals, we can create a lasting legacy that bridges generations, providing insight and understanding to descendants about their ancestors.
Why Audio?
We use audio rather than text or video because it provides the best opportunity to focus on the person and their story in their own words. Audio captures the emotion and nuances in the voice, bringing the stories to life in a way that text and video often cannot. The warmth, laughter, and even the pauses in conversation convey a depth of feeling that is uniquely human, making these memories even more vivid and cherished.
What We Do
We offer a unique service that records in-depth interviews with people, creating an audio record of their lives. These recordings are not just about preserving facts but capturing the essence of a person’s experiences, emotions, and wisdom. Once recorded, these audio stories can be safely stored with us, allowing future generations to access them. Alternatively, we can deliver the recordings to the interviewees, empowering them to distribute their stories personally.
