Who is it for?

My Local History was created to be flexible and accessible for a wide range of organizations. Whether you're preserving heritage, engaging the public, or adding context to meaningful places, here’s how different groups can benefit:

  • Municipal & Local Governments
    Perfect for towns and cities looking to highlight the stories behind street names, parks, monuments, and civic buildings. These short videos offer residents and visitors a way to connect with their community’s past in a modern, interactive way.

  • County Governments
    County-level programs can use My Local History to tie together regional heritage efforts—whether for historical sites, cultural corridors, county parks, zoos, or public golf courses. It’s also a valuable tourism and public engagement tool, helping visitors and residents discover the rich stories behind county-managed spaces.

  • Historical Societies
    Bring your archives to life by turning documents, photos, and research into engaging videos that can be accessed right where history happened. It’s a powerful way to reach new audiences and preserve local narratives.

  • Tribal Governments
    A respectful and culturally appropriate way to share tribal history, honor elders, and document stories that deserve to be told—especially when integrated into cultural sites, heritage trails, or tribal lands.

  • Nonprofit Organizations
    Museums, community groups, and preservation-focused nonprofits can use My Local History to expand their reach beyond the walls of a building—whether on walking tours, at restored sites, or through educational partnerships.

  • HOAs & Lake Communities
    Highlight the founding of your neighborhood, the people it’s named after, or natural features of interest. These videos are perfect for welcome signs, community centers, or shared spaces.

  • Private Businesses
    Especially valuable for businesses in tourism, hospitality, or redevelopment. Showcase the history of a building, celebrate a company's roots, or engage customers by adding storytelling to your physical space.
