Television can stir emotions, but it doesn’t invite reflection as much as the printed page.
Bill Moyers, American journalist and public commentator
My work as a personal historian mainly involves creating video memoirs for my clients, although I do some written life stories as well. I believe television and the printed page each have their unique advantages. Unlike a life story book, a video memoir enables us to see and hear someone. It reveals, for example, their unique little speech patterns, the odd tilt of their head and their infectious laugh. From my experience, I know these physical characteristics become treasured remembrances for a family long after a loved one has died.
