Our oral recordings can be tailored to suit your needs. However, we provide the following standard options:

Legacy Link uses music recording equipment, making for excellent-quality audio recordings. However, as the equipment is sensitive, our preferred interview locations are quiet rooms with minimal background noise or interference.
It is normal to be a little nervous. We find that after a few minutes of recollection, nerves subside and excitement sets in.
Anyone you wish may be present. However, we recommend that you are interviewed alone. This encourages a more natural and personal interview without the distraction, interruption, and input from excited friends and family.
