Documented Legacy is a mobile personal historian company based in southern New Jersey that helps families and organizations preserve their history through recorded storytelling and the archival preservation of photos, documents, and heirlooms. We help you capture the stories from the past that are important to pass along to future generations. These recorded legacies bring clarity to your experiences, values, beliefs, and charitable decisions. Together we look at the stages and transitions in life, not just the end of life. The preservation is done through: Audio interviews, Memoir writing, Life Stories, Family Love Letters, Legacy Letters (aka Ethical Wills), Tributes, Military Histories, Organizational Histories, Photo Organization, Archiving & Digitization, Private Projects, and Workshops. We often consult with professionals, such as estate planning and elder care attorneys, financial advisors, medical professionals, charitable foundations, antique dealers, senior communities, veterans organizations, and hobby groups.

As part of my work with Documented Legacy, I consulted with Couragent, makers of the Flip-Pal® mobile scanner, to develop its disaster response unit after Hurricane Sandy hit the New Jersey shore and developed a strategy to teach consumers about preservation and disaster preparedness issues that helped the company reach new markets. The program is still active today. Check out the company's preservation blog called 52 Suggestions (http://flip-pal.com/category/52-suggestions/).The average household in America does not have a plan to prevent against disasters. At Couragent we strive to help people understand how they can preserve their family history and heirlooms through simple steps in archiving and preservation.The Flip-Pal® mobile scanner is a battery powered, color flatbed scanner for photos and documents. The patented flip-and-scan technology allows scanning photos in place without removing them from an album or frame. When preserving your memories really matters, Flip-Pal is the best scanning solution.
