Submit your own life record
30-90 minute structured form. Auto-saves.
An open archive of ordinary lives — collected, indexed, made searchable so future humans (and machines) can know who we were.
The historical record has always belonged to the famous. The Human Memory Project flips this: ordinary lives, in their own words, structured for posterity. A contributor uploads a structured account of their life — places lived, work done, people loved, beliefs held, eras witnessed — under a permissive license. The archive is then indexed, made searchable, and made queryable in natural language: 'what did people in Wuhan in 1985 think about the future?' returns first-person accounts.
This is not a social network. There are no likes, no feed. It is a library — a deliberate, slow, careful infrastructure for the part of human experience that historically goes unrecorded.
This sample search is plain substring. The production version will use embedding-based semantic retrieval.
