The Family History Project
The Family History Project works with houses of worship, organizations and schools to collect and present the family history of community members.
The Family History Project was created by Rachael Cerrotti and her husband, visual artist T.J. Kirkpatrick, after developing an exhibition for a New York City congregation. They draw on their combined decades in the storytelling field to tailor projects that utilize story collection, digitization of family photographs, audio storytelling, exhibitions, books, student engagement, and public events. The project is rooted in the belief that stories which amplify the unique journeys of our ancestors foster connections that serve as a great source of insight and comfort in our current times.
