StoryCorps is an independently funded organization set off to preserve and share recorded stories of the people in America. Recording booths are set up across The United States for anyone to visit and record their stories.

The StoryCorps archive covers a wide spectrum of stories. These recordings range from elderly people recalling their past to children asking their parents existential questions. However, the common thread among these stories is the intimacy and emotion.

The visitor center in Chicago serves as an introductory experience for people new to StoryCorps, and facilitates recording sessions in the recording booth.
