We make books from stories that deserve to last.

Million Memory Project is a storytelling and publishing organization. We publish books by authors and artists, and we help communities turn interviews, photographs, recordings, and archives into books.

What we create

Books for artists, communities, and places.

Artist stories

Sound Archive Books

Books for artists, labels, venues, and music communities.

Cultural preservation

Appalachian Memory Project

Books about places in Appalachia, drawn from oral history and local tradition.

Community stories

Million Memory Project

Books a community writes together, in the words of the people who lived it.

Every story deserves to be kept.

Some become books.
Some become archives.
Many become both.

The work behind the books

How we work

Each project moves through four phases: gather, research, create, and preserve. Our own software keeps every story linked to its sources.
