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 preserve their stories on their own.

You can create an new account using either the StoryCorps App or archive.storycorps.org. The same account will allow you access to both platforms.
