History of The History Project

The History Project (THP) is a young company started by Niles Lichtenstein. He started it after trying to piece together the many aspects of his father’s life and ended up with a digital folder full of information. He needed a simple way to show the timeline of his father’s life. And The History Project was born.

THP is a digital time capsule connecting all the media and memories of a your life into one place.

Creating Your History Project

It is free to create an account and start your own timelines. A project can be a person’s life, an event or a series of events.

In the photo above, you’ll see my first project is about family traditions. I am showing how the traditions we have in place in our family are a blend of the traditions from both my husband and me.

I also plan to have my parents join the project as collaborators so they can add their family traditions. Being able to add collaborators is a great way to complete a memory.

The History Project Concierge Service

If you are unsure of where to start or need help telling your story, The History Project offers a Concierge Service.

I received a complementary concierge service to help me create my Christmas traditions project. My concierge walked me through the process of starting a project and helped me narrow down how I wanted to tell my story.

What To Include In A Digital Storytelling Project

Getting started on a project is the hardest part. I suggest you just dig in and start adding dates that you know without looking anything up. Once you get past the hurdle of starting, the pieces start to come together.The History Project connects your memories. It is a digital storytelling platform.

I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I wasn’t sure how to put that in a timeline that made sense. That is where my concierge was very helpful. She talked me through the Christmas traditions I remembered and helped me figure out how to connect those memories.

A project can include:

  • Photos
  • Video
  • Audio
  • Maps
  • Newspaper articles
  • Online research
  • and more…

You can have a timeline be public or private and only give access to those you want to see your project.

My Thoughts on The History Project

I could not get over how easy it was to start a project. Once I got started and added a few events, I wanted to keep going. Bringing in others to help tell a story is awesome too. You can tell a story from different perspectives. The History Project has made storytelling fun and easy!
