How do I create a new account on archive.storycorps.org?

Creating an account on archive.storycorps.org allows users to access our full archive of public interviews as well as utilize the StoryCorp App and StoryCorps Connect to record and preserve their own stories.

You can create a new account on either archive.storycorps.org or using the StoryCorps App. Regardless of where you create your account, you can use the same credentials to access to the StoryCorps App, StoryCorps Corps Connect, and archive.storycorps.org.
