I heard about StoryCorps on the news tonight and then on the radio on the way home:

"Our mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening.

Since 2003, over 35,000 everyday people have shared life stories with family and friends in our StoryBooths. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to our broadcasts on public radio and the web. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind."

In San Francisco, you can record your own story at the Contemporary Jewish Museum where they have recording booths set up until October 2009:

I love StoryCorps. While I was working at Sony this past year, it would always come on the radio just as I was arriving at the lot on Friday mornings, and I'd end up wiping away tears as I drove through the gate.
