Or desired to keep a record of your own lived experiences and hard won wisdom to pass onto and speak to future generations? The Story Ark helps you capture audio of these treasured stories now, before they are lost forever. History has shown us how often those stories are lost; lost to death, and to the mental and physical decline that inevitably touches us all. The Story Ark is a service for recording and collecting those stories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e5781c43c166c56bf207c/1600043259918-RMGJA59WW47P5QGCIF5B/illustration-2-2x.png Home - How it Works It’s simple — we come to your home, or that of your loved one, to record audio of their voice, telling their stories. Our intimate unobtrusive audio recording equipment captures the best quality sound, then we edit and deliver to you in a format that is easy to consume and to share, ensuring your loved one’s voice is available to you for generations to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e5781c43c166c56bf207c/1600042768813-J3VT4LPURFHZCZSXY40P/illustration-3-2x.png Home - Why We Love Audio For all the technological advances meant to engender and facilitate connection, what we’ve come to find is that nothing is more intimate than audio. Video is universal, audio is personal. We’re in the midst of an audio renaissance - podcasts, streaming, audiobooks — because whatever distance or time might separate us, and whatever technology we might create to conquer that sense of separation, what we have circled back to is that audio is the most enduringly direct connection we’ve yet to conjure. https://www.thestoryark.ca/what-we-do daily 0.75 2025-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e5781c43c166c56bf207c/7eee92ed-6339-4222-8327-00026456eb91/Image%2520-%2520no%2520preview%2520-%2520square.jpg https://www.thestoryark.ca/the-service daily 0.75 2023-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5e5781c43c166c56bf207c/1600637697822-UC4RHSNDYVYZGWTYQXKJ/How+it+Works.png The Service - Getting to know you After receiving your initial email to book a recording, we will reach out to you and any family and loved ones that might provide some direction as to the stories you’d like to have captured.
