• HARNESS THE POWER OF VOICE

      Collect, manage, analyze, and share stories, testimonials and first-person autobiographical experiences at a scale otherwise impossible to manage manually.

      We work with truth community libraries, oral history projects, nonprofit organizations, philanthropies, and others committed to listening to each other.

    • HOW MEMRIA WORKS

      MEMRIA uses the power of voice to help our partners further their missions and to strengthen community engagement. Our tools allow clients to easily collect, manage, and share personal narratives and testimonials from people in their own voices.

      Request and Record

      Clients create a Project and invite participants via email invite, social media, or a direct link, such as a "Tell Your Story" button on their website. Participants (called Storytellers) record audio or write, preview, and submit their story and, if they choose, upload relevant photographs. Participants can choose to not display their name.

       

      Curate and Analyze

      Clients review stories and testimonials, and use dashboard tools to create transcripts, analyze materials, edit audio, create podcasts and compilations, and create archives. If they choose to share the stories, they can publish them on a "public stories" page. Stories can be archived.

       

      Share and Distribute

      Post stories directly to Facebook and Twitter or use the story URL in an email newsletter. A "mini player" can be embedded into other content such as a blog post or website, or download audio clips and compile them into a podcast. Create distributable materials for external or internal audiences.

    • WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS SAY

      “The Association of Black Communities of Cesar, Kusuto (Colombia) is working to collect and share stories about the experiences of the various black identities in the provinces of Cesar and La Guajira.  Memria has been a vital partner in helping us achieve our long-standing dream of creating an audiovisual collection by and for black communities in the region, and in attaining our goal of confronting the current narratives that uphold structural violence within our communities".

      "Both story projects sponsored by the Keene Valley (NY) Library, one local, one national, are based on Memria. We could not be happier with the platform, technical service, and people!"

       

      - JERY HUNTLEY

      "We used Memria to set up both a Story-Telling booth and a separate Story-Listening booth as integral parts of a traveling exhibit. The technology was easy, the set-up was very inexpensive and quick, and the results were fantastic. It enhanced the exhibit and encouraged visitors to share their art and their comments. This is a great tool for small and low-budget museums and exhibits like ours!”

      NGO's

      Social justice organizations increasingly need to reflect the voices and experiences of their communities in order to achieve societal change.

      Museums and Exhibits

      Museums and exhibits can create story-collecting stations and story-listening stations to increase community engagement and enhance visitor experience.

      Educators

      Educators use Memria to record and share the voices of their students and their communities, making the learning experience more real.

      Alumni Associations

      Alumni Associations can use Memria to send out a call for stories across the alumni network and collect hundreds or even thousands of audio recorded or written stories with the click of a button.
