Hello!
Unfortunately this will be brief, but I wanted to give you a glimpse into what's going on here at SBYF HQ now, and what you can expect for 2013.
What's going on is this:
We asked you to mail us memories in 2012, and Whoa Lordy, did you ever. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! We are currently going through them one by one by glorious one. I can't even guess yet what the number is going to be, and it's growing faster all the time. All these amazing memories (plus the ones from the Memory Stations) will be archived in The Vault, for future generations, as promised.
For example:
So you want to know What It Was Like On a Random Winter Day in Maine in the 1950s?

BUT.
You want to see them too, right? We are currently designing and building a digital system where you will be able to explore our Library of Human Experience (at least a small part of it, to start), and maybe even have beautiful postcards from different decades delivered directly to your inbox. That is our number one priority right now, and it's going to take a while to get it together, but it's coming.
In the meantime, you can still create postcards with your local communities/schools, or just with your own friends and loved ones at home.
We are also excited and honored to be presenting at several conferences this year, including:
*The Meeting of the Minds, March 2, in St. Paul, MN
*Generations United, July 30-Aug. 2, in Washington DC
And several others TBA...so come see us!
And finally, if you are in the Philly area and interested in volunteering with us or joining as an intern, please email us at info@sbyfproject.com. There's lots to do and it's gonna be a lot of fun.
