Million Memory Project
Our imprints
Different stories. Different audiences. One mission.
Million Memory Project publishes books by artists and authors, and books that communities write together. Each imprint covers one kind of story.
Music stories
Sound Archive Books
Books for artists, labels, and venues.
Cultural stories
Appalachian Memory Project
Books about places in Appalachia, drawn from oral history.
Community stories
Million Memory Project
Books a community writes together.
Stories take many forms
Some stories belong to artists. Some belong to communities. Some belong to places.
Each imprint serves a different audience, but all three share the same belief: stories deserve to be gathered, shaped into books, and kept.
Music stories
Sound Archive Books (opens in a new tab)
Books for the future of music.
Sound Archive Books helps artists, labels, venues, and music communities turn songs, lyrics, photographs, artwork, and archives into books. Fans get something to keep, and artists get another source of income.
