First Personal Social History Site Launched at ThePeopleHistory.com

Summary: ThePeopleHistory.com was created to preserve the thoughts, memories and social history of the ordinary man and woman in a similar way that an autobiography or biography does for the rich and famous. Some facts and information are included but this is mainly to help as a reminder of the events and the time period. Site founder Steve Pearson commented on the launch, "Our memories are our most precious asset. The memories we amass over our lifetime from shortly after birth define who we are and how we live, and as we become older it can be harder to recall those memories to pass onto our children and grandchildren. ThePeopleHistory.com is dedicated to preserving these memories for all future generations."
