===Preparation===
===Reserving Video Recording Session===
 
*To reserve our video recording studio for a live recording experience, please schedule by calle the library at 702-382-9695
Family history interviews are a good way to capture memories before they are lost. They help you verify and preserve names and dates — the sort of information you would typically record on a family group sheet or pedigree chart. These interviews are also one of the best ways to preserve a wealth of stories, testimonies, thoughts, and feelings. '''Creating Oral Histories''' from the FamilySearch Wiki has some interview suggestions you may find helpful.  
*You may reserve a recording event for up to 1 hour.  Our staff will assist.
 
*Groups may relate their story about a recent event such as a service project or youth conference.  
Options for recording:  
*Family members share memories and record grandma’s voice and smile as she tells her own story.  
*You must bring your own 16 GB flash drive on which your completed video will be transferred. 


*One person can record themselves reading or verbalizing their memories or histories.
*Two or more people can record a conversation or share memories with each other.
*One person can interview others while recording their responses.
*A small family group, up to 10 people at a time.
