What is a community?

Communities are a way to collect and share interviews on archive.storycorps.org with friends, classmates, family, colleagues, and any other group of people that shares something in common. Any archive.storycorps.org registered user can create a public community and invite others to join it by sending them a link to the community page. Anyone can browse communities and listen to interviews posted to the community’s page on our website, whether or not they are a community member or registered archive.storycorps.org user. Please note that it is not possible to make interviews private on a community page.

The community feature is primarily a Web-based platform for archive.storycorps.org. In-app community functionality is essentially limited to adding an interview to a community during the upload and edit process. Most other community functions can only be conducted on our website.
