Past Stories

 

Memoir

Personal narrative about a landmark, person, experience

Example: Rebecca's Story of the Isles of Shoals

 

Advantages

Honors the past, the old-timers, the keepers of the history

Essential to weave the full story of the community

Can lead to unepxected discoveries and insights

 

Disadvantages

Can invite general nostalgia

Can invite attitudes about the present: everything is bad now

Can state only what is already known, or what is shared by 80% of rural dwellers--nothing new or precise is offered the H & S process
