The Personal History Book CD-ROM

The Personal History Book CD-ROM is a form-fill-able version of the hugely popular Personal History Book. The CD itself has all the benefits and features associated with The Personal History Book itself, as well as some extras. Once you have downloaded the files from the CD onto your computer hard drive, the file will act like an online autobiography template complete with the following additional features and benefits:

Customizable Solution

1. Change font and font size and so personalize the look of your Life Story.

2. Add personal photos by replacing the placeholder photos already in the file with your own.

3. Delete pages that do not fit with your Life Story (e.g. Military) and add pages of your choosing (e.g. More Photos). Your Life Stories can be as short or as long as you like.

4. Print the completed Life Story on your choice of paper to put the final personal touches to your Autobiography or the Biography of a loved one.

5. Add digitized or scanned documents and certificates

6. Add or combine Genealogy or Family Tree and Family History projects to complete your Life Story.

Added Flexibility

1. Make Life Story changes as often as you like. You can continue adding to your Life Story as your life unfolds.

2. Print or e-mail your completed Autobiography or Biography as many times as you wish, allowing you to easily share your Life Story with others.

Greater Control

1. Although the CD will give the feel of an online autobiography template, it is indeed a safer option than saving your personal information onto someone else’s server. Most online autobiography templates cannot guarantee your data is safe, secure and kept completely private. With The Personal History Book CD comes added security. Peace of mind is increased as you hold all Life Story information on your PC giving you total control over access and security. No internet access required.

2. Partially finished Life Story projects will be held securely on your PC for an indefinite period of time. Most online facilities are time specific and charge a yearly fee to edit your Life Story held on their servers.

Convenience

1. Take your laptop or the saved file anywhere and work on your Life Story wherever you may be in the world.

2. For those who are considering publishing an Autobiography or a Biography, save time and money by sending publishers an example of your autobiography or sample autobiography pages electronically or on CD.

Solves the problem of less than perfect handwriting

1. Perfect for those who prefer to type their Autobiography or the Biography of a loved one, rather than write.

2. Handwrite some pages and type others.

Ideal as a guide for Oral and Video History Interviews or other Family History Projects, such as writing the Biography of Family and Friends

1. Helps develop an Autobiography Outline for interviewing purposes.

2. Acts as an Autobiography Template while developing an interview plan.

3. Excellent for use in Oral History Projects.
