StoryCorps is an independent non-profit whose mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve their life stories. Since 2003 they have archived more than 30,000 stores from more than 60,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free cd to be shared and archived at the American Folklife Centre at the Library of Congress. The stories range the gambit, but are always enlightening and touching and they provide delightful insight into the lives of those around us.  A selection of the StoryCorps stories have been animated and one of the most touching is that of Danny & Annie discussing their life together – you can watch their amazing story below.
