From Generation to Generation

Knowing our past allows us not only to live fuller and richer lives, but also to better understand the challenges and complexities of the present. This is the underlying philosophy of Boîte à Histoires.

How do we create this link between generations? We believe that by finding ways to gather and share memories, whether in a book, a short film, video, or a display of photos and other pertinent memorabilia, we can build lasting and meaningful connections between the generations.

Like journalists everywhere, we will conduct thorough interviews, helping you to dig deep into your past so that you can share your experiences, emotions and lessons learned with your children and grandchildren. Are you ready to record your history with us?

I recount my family’s history

Who dreams of telling their family’s history, complete with its major events, the joys and sorrows, the stories told around the holiday table or by the fire on a cold winter night? Who dreams of preserving the secrets of grandma’s cooking and the wise words and counsel that have shaped the person you’ve become today?
The obvious truth is that because we rarely take the time, our family culture slowly fades, and we’re left with regrets and remorse. We offer you an easy-to-implement solution for gathering and preserving your family’s rich past and passing it on to the next generation..

Laying out my life has been a deliverance. I am happy that I was able to testify and that my family can learn, understand and remember the stories of my life.

When I received the recording from my parents, they were still alive, so I did not listen to it. When they passed away, I understood how important it was to be able to hear their voices when they were already gone….

Television News From Seniors

Television news from Seniors is a project created by Boîte à Histoires embraced by town halls, departments, and retirement homes.
It is a weekly, bi-monthly or monthly newscast that allows residents and caregivers to give news to their loved ones, and also to learn more about daily life in retirement homes. Filmed on location, caregivers simply film 3 to 5 residents with a smartphone or tablet, focusing on their day’s activities in a fun and engaging way.

Collection of Memories

 On June 18, 80 years ago, General Charles de Gaulle launched from London his famous call to arms to continue the fight against Nazi Germany. It remains one of the most significant events of our national history.
On the occasion of this important commemoration, Boîte à Histoires and the Fédération Nationale André Maginot (FNAM) organized a major collection of the memories of French women and men plunged into war in the Spring of 1940.
French families throughout the land heard De Gaulle’s call. Some of those who fought – risking their lives and those of their families -, are still alive today. Don’t let their memories die with them. Come and hear their testimonies to preserve our collective national memory.
