Web of Stories
Web of Stories is an online collection of thousands of autobiographical video-stories. Web of Stories, originally known as Science Archive, was set up to record the life stories of scientists. When it expanded to include the lives of authors, movie makers, artists and others, it was renamed Peoples Archive, finally evolving to become Web of Stories in 2008. The website has three main features:
  • Video recordings of the life stories of a broad range of the acknowledged leaders of our time, including: holocaust survivor Alice Herz-Sommer, physicist John Wheeler, watchmaker George Daniels, and authors Doris Lessing and Philip Roth, as well as 16 Nobel Prize winners, 19 Fellows of the Royal Society, 4 Pulitzer Prize winners, and 3 Academy Award winners.
  • Video collections from external groups, including charities Thyroid UK, Changing Faces (charity) and LAM Action.
  • Videos from the public who can record their own stories directly via the site, or from recordings previously made on their computer, video or mobile phone. All these stories are organised into channels (for example, ‘Love’, ‘War’ and ‘Health’).
Web of Stories is based in London, and is part of the Science Navigation Group, a group of scientific publishing companies which also publishes Faculty of 1000, and formerly published Global DataPoint, Postcode Gazette, Current BioData.
