Before your interview with a personal historian, you need to answer several questions about your personal history project, including – but not limited to – the following:
- What do you want from this personal history project?
- What do you hope to accomplish with this personal history project?
- Who is your intended audience? Family? Friends? The public?
- How much of your life story do you want to cover – the entire journey or just one memory?
- In your personal history interview, who will be interviewed – one person, a couple or a family?
- Where will the interviews take place?
- What photographs and documents do you want to include in your personal history?
- Do you want to include artwork, graphics or illustrations in your personal history project?
- Do you have a hobby, collection or well-loved place you would like to showcase in this project?
- What is the budget for your personal history project?
