ASSOCIATION OF PERSONAL HISTORIANS

http://www.personalhistorians.org/

Stories about people are all around us twenty-four hours a day. They take the form of novels, documentaries, radio interviews, and more. And for every story we see or hear, countless others – just as compelling, just as important – are never told. Stories about turning points in our own lives. Stories about the rich experiences of our older relatives. Stories about the heritage and values of our communities. These stories deserve to be given life, which is why the Association of Personal Historians (APH) exists. Members of APH help other people create personal histories, including memoirs, video tributes, autobiographies, biographies, family histories, heritage cookbooks, community histories, corporate and organizational histories, legacy letters, and ethical wills. A personal history can take the form of a book, documentary, video, website, CD-ROM, DVD, scrapbook, or photo collage – even a song or quilt.

Our vision, quite simply, is a world in which the story of every person, family, community, and organization is recorded and preserved.

http://www.seia.org/research-resources/brighter-future-study-solar-us-schools-report

A report by The Solar Foundation, with research assistance from the Solar Energy Industries Association. While thousands of schools have already realized the cost savings and other benefits of installed solar energy capacity, this opportunity is generally underutilized. The large, flat rooftops typically found on public and private K-12 school buildings throughout the United States make many of these properties excellent candidates for rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal systems.
