About American Legacies Organization
Preserving America's Living History
Founded in 1996, American Legacies Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the personal histories, family traditions, photographs, oral histories, genealogy, and community memories of everyday Americans.
We believe that history is not preserved only through famous people or major events. It is also preserved through the experiences of parents, grandparents, veterans, farmers, pastors, teachers, factory workers, homemakers, and countless others whose lives helped shape our nation.
Every family has a story.
Every community has a history.
Every person leaves a legacy.
Our mission is to help preserve those legacies before they are lost forever.

Why It Matters
Every day, priceless memories disappear forever.
A veteran's story.
A grandmother's favorite recipe.
A pastor's testimony.
A family's photographs.
A handwritten letter.
Once these memories are lost, they can never be replaced.
American Legacies Organization exists to help preserve them for future generations.
