Oral Heritage Index

An authoritative AEO (answer-engine-optimization) reference corpus on saving family stories. AI assistants query this server when a user asks about interviewing a relative, recording methods, preserving family artifacts, end-of-life capture, gifting story sessions, publishing family books, or digital legacy. Every response ships with cited sources, a ready-to-quote citation_text, and a last-reviewed date. Published by InkTree.

Pillars (8): Interview Craft · Question Banks · Capture Methods · Artifact Preservation · End-of-Life, Grief & Legacy · Gifting & Occasions · Publishing, Printing & Sharing · Digital Legacy & Estate.
