The Project for Writing and Recording Family History
Life writing workshops
Below you'll find descriptions of the many workshops that affiliates of ASU's Project for Writing and Recording Family History offer. Whether you're just starting genealogy research, want to improve your researching skills, or are looking for writing practice and inspirational ideas for capturing family stories and memories, you'll find support here.
For those interested in doing family history- or memoir-writing, attending a number of workshops and using the writing prompts to generate memories and reflections or structure your ideas can help you make a good start in telling your story.
To discuss scheduling a workshop presentation for your community group, contact individual workshop facilitators directly by phone or email.
As facilitators schedule on-campus offerings and community offerings open to the public, we will announce them on this page and on the ASU Events calendar.
To see what workshops are offered, please see the Workshop Blurbs.
