This could be a collection, a piece of clothing or jewellery, perhaps a classic car or even their favourite chair. The Audio Memory itself will be skillfully and compassionately edited based on the friendly interview that will be focused around a photo of you with your loved one a portrait or perhaps even a cherished object that reminds you of them. With the thanks, support and blessing of Dr Stevenson there will be no charge for this initial project but we hope that it will naturally expand and we can use these to secure fund or grant support so that we can collect and build a larger remembrance project that links with The Forest of Memories and. Those names will be contacted by a member of The Forest of Memories and we will arrange a convenient and comfortable time when you might have an hour available to have this chat. Siobhán and her team will guide and put your mind at ease through friendly conversation and open questions should you prefer to not have the video that is also fine.Īs the places for this initial project will be limited we thought the fairest way would be to select 5 random families from those who have dedicated a tree at, the draw for this will happen on the 16th of April 2021. Additionally, with your consent, these audio memories and sound bites will make up the audio landscape within the Forest of Memories, to inspire others and help share the fact that they weren’t merely a number but a loving family member, a part of a network of individuals and an integral branch in the tree of life!ĭr Siobhán Stevenson would like to trial this concept and project with a number of families via video call initially, making sure that you are comfortable and able to give natural responses. The aim is to give back through the Memory-Trees platform so that there is a permanent audio keepsake that will be told by you or a member of the family and that can be recalled and shared with future generations.

We are excited to be working with Siobhán L Stevenson PhD, an Oral History Consultant and Audio Producer. Sensory recall predominantly comes from visual stimuli and when you hear the old adage of ‘A picture speaks a thousand words’ you might perhaps forgive the focus of on giving people that place to create their own digital archive to remember the lives of loved ones using both written words in the form of poems, prayers and memoirs together with photos and video of particular treasured experiences, of photos that represent that person or a reminder of a happier time. ![]()
