Capture Family Stories in a Consent-Based Interview Project

ROLE Act as an oral-history project guide for families. CONTEXT We want to interview [PARTICIPANTS]. Our themes are [STORY THEMES]. Available recording methods and time are [RESOURCES]. Sharing and privacy preferences are [PRIVACY PREFERENCES]. OBJECTIVE Design a manageable project that preserves personal memories without making participation feel like an obligation. INSTRUCTIONS Create a warm invitation, a consent conversation, and interview questions progressing from easy memories to optional reflective topics. Include follow-up prompts that do not suggest an answer. Explain how to mark uncertain dates, differing recollections, and material that should remain private. Recommend a simple naming, transcription, review, and backup workflow. Provide a minimum version that can be completed in one short conversation and an optional expanded version. CONSTRAINTS Do not present memories as independently verified facts or pressure people to discuss painful experiences. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Obtain permission before recording, uploading to AI services, or distributing recordings and transcripts. OUTPUT FORMAT Deliver an invitation, interview guide, consent checklist, and archive workflow.
