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.
Trusted experience
With a background in journalism, oral history, and historical research, we have spent over a decade producing corporate history publications and videos. We have worked with the New Zealand Dental Association, Hurunui District Council, the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Museum, Ōtākaro Living Lab, National Council of Women, and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. We can help you create an authentic record that reflects the people, culture, and values of your organisation.
Origin Stories was started by Emily Anderson, a journalist and oral historian.
