History Keep
About
HistoryKeep is a Marblehead business that creates legacy books preserving the personal stories of individuals and families. Each book is written from live audio interviews designed to draw out memories, lessons learned, family tales, life-changing events and philosophies meant to be passed on to loved ones. The result is a professionally designed keepsake book that tells a person’s story from their own words, intended to be shared with children, grandchildren and later generations.
Principal Francie King is a longtime interviewer, writer and editor whose articles and profiles have appeared in magazines and journals across New England. She has worked as a journalist and writer for more than 30 years and has taped hundreds of interviews, including in development communications for Boston-area nonprofits such as the Museum of Fine Arts and Boston University. Her interest in profiles and social history led her to personal history writing.
