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 record and preserve their own stories.

You can create a new account on either archive.storycorps.org or using the StoryCorps App. Regardless of where you create your account, you can use the same credentials to access to the StoryCorps App, StoryCorps Corps Connect, and archive.storycorps.org. If you'd like to create your account using the StoryCorps App, you can find step-by-step instructions on how to do so in the Help Center article below.

How do I create an account with the StoryCorps App?

To create an new account on archive.storycorps.org

  • Open archive.storycorps.org and select Log In in the upper right hand corner of the page.
  • On the login screen, select Create Your Account.
  • On the account creation screen, you'll have the option to create your account with your email address or using single sign-on with your Apple ID, Google, or Facebook log in information.
