Many of us have encountered some problems when we wanted to know something about our family, but by the time we remembered to do so, there was no one left to ask… the continuity which the book provides for the next generation is of great value to us, for our children and for the generations to follow. This book which is passed on within the family enables continuity and the transference of family information, messages and culture onwards, so that each member on the family tree can know where they came from and what really happened in their family history. More than that, copies can be distributed to libraries such as the Diaspora Museum, the library of the assisted living facility, Aley Shalechet’s library and more.
Documenting, editing and printing your life story or that of your family, in a personal and impressive biographical book is a family asset that has a profound meaning for the next generation. For the purpose of preparing it, a researcher from Aley Shalechet will investigate and listen, photograph and collect pictures and other materials. The content undergoes professional linguistic and graphic editing, and at the end of the process, the book is printed and bound in a printing house.
Also, it is possible to produce biographies for organizations, entities and enterprises.
What format shall we use?
The book has many formats (templates); one story written in a continuous form, a collection of short stories, an elegant personal and familial photo album, bound in hard or soft cover, and many more variables which turn each book into a personal and unique one.
Other uses
The production of a personal book isn’t the end of things! It is possible to upload an electronic copy onto the internet and distribute it through the network to more family and friends, and it can even be converted and turned into a magnificent website.
The work process
In order to produce a biographical book, a representative from Aley Shalechet will arrive for a meeting at your home (or anywhere else that is convenient), present several samples and on the basis of a short interview prepare a price offer, and a work offer in respect of the nature of the book which most suites you and is compatible with your needs and requirements.
The prices of the books vary according to the number of pages, hours of interview and investigation, quantity of photos, the book’s format (soft/hard cover, type of pages), the number of copies wanted and other parameters. Therefore, only after the personal meeting is held, (conducted under no obligation on your part), we will be able to provide a price offer.
