Projectkin.org | A community of family historians hooked on stories

A free, online community dedicated to helping family historians around the world share their stories by engaging younger generations with creative digital and hybrid-digital projects. Projects are tailored to be easy with step-by-step “recipes,” and each is mindful of preserving archives and protecting privacy. With Projectkin, the focus is on the challenges of modern storytelling without regard to platforms or tools. Education programs demystify technologies and walk members through strategies to use the right tool for each project. Projectkin is not a platform, nor is it supported by sponsors or affiliate programs. It’s structured to be a non-profit so that the programming integrity can be sustained. For now, all programs and materials are entirely free. Even after non-profit formation is complete, the bulk of programming will be free even as some premium programs and benefits are reserved for donors.
