Corporate, business, and organisation history
Every organisation has a story worth preserving. Beyond dates and milestones are the people who solved problems, adapted to change, and shaped culture. Recording these stories captures valuable knowledge, celebrates achievements and creates a lasting legacy for future generations.
Preserving your organisation's story
We work with businesses, organisations, and family-owned companies to document their history through professional interviews, historical research and engaging storytelling. Whether you're celebrating a milestone anniversary, recognising the contribution of a retiring employee, recording a founder's journey, or preserving organisational knowledge before it is lost, we create accurate, compelling histories tailored to your needs.
Professional history documentation services
With a background in journalism, oral history, and historical research, we have spent more than a decade recording life stories, researching organisations, and communities, and producing publications, interpretation panels and documentary-style videos. Our projects have included working with the New Zealand Dental Association, the Hurunui District Council, the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, Museum Ōtākaro Living Lab, the National Council of Women, as well as projects funded by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage.
Whether the final result is a printed history, a commemorative publication, a documentary film, website content, or an archive of recorded interviews, my goal is to create an authentic record that reflects the people, culture, and values of your organisation. We can ensure your stories are preserved for generations to come.
Origin Stories was started by Emily Anderson, a journalist and oral historian.
