Sharing Florida Families' Histories
As a part of the
community-wide reading project One Book, One Community: Lee County Reads
“A Land Remembered,” Lee County Library System, News-Press and WGCU
Public Media partnered to document stories from long-time area
residents about their family histories.
A Florida Life
Remembered is modeled after the StoryCorps project developed by David
Isay that encourages people to share their life experiences with one
another. While StoryCorps recordings are archived with the Library of
Congress, the recordings gleaned from A Florida Life Remembered will be
aired on WGCU 90.1 FM and are available at the WGCU Public Media web
site.

The Southwest Florida Museum of History has agreed to archive MP3 audio
files and the State Library will also keep electronic files available
for research and education purposes.
