2. Create a story thread of a particular life era, event or person and arrange in sequence on the LegacyStories website. Each thread can be rendered into a Pict-Oral MemoirTM
3. Use the app to launch “Pict-Oral History Projects” for communities, ethnic and cultural organizations, veterans groups, libraries, historical societies and museums, non-profit fundraising, etc. See “Programs” on the LegacyStories website.
4. The app makes it easy to install life review programs for patients or residents in hospice, memory care, assisted or independent living.
