Organizations don’t just run on strategy and systems — they run on memory, judgment, and lived experience. When leaders move on or institutions change, that knowledge is often lost.
Triangle Story Studio helps organizations capture and interpret institutional memory through professionally guided interviews and narrative work. We preserve leadership insight, document moments of change, and translate lived experience into durable assets that support culture, continuity, and communication.Transforming institutional memory into insight, continuity, and story.
Oral History & Institutional Knowledge Projects
Structured interview projects that capture leadership perspective, institutional memory, and decision-making context — before that knowledge walks out the door. Whether you're documenting a founder's vision, preparing for a leadership transition, or preserving organizational memory during a period of growth or change, each project is designed around your specific needs and goals.
This is a good fit for longstanding institutions with undocumented history, organizations navigating leadership succession, and companies that have recognized the risk of allowing critical knowledge to remain entirely in people's heads.
Oral History & Institutional Knowledge Projects — starting at $5,000
Projects are scoped based on the number of interviews, deliverables, and intended use. Contact us to discuss your organization's needs.
Public-Facing Storytelling & Interpretation
Narrative development that turns lived experience into compelling, credible public stories. In an environment saturated with polished content, stories rooted in real voices and real experience cut through — because audiences can tell the difference. Triangle Story Studio helps organizations translate institutional history and leadership experience into narrative content that is authentic, substantive, and built to last.
This is a good fit for organizations marking a milestone or anniversary, brands seeking storytelling with genuine depth, and communications teams that need substance rather than spin. Work in this area can include branded podcast episodes or short series, founder and leadership narrative features, anniversary or milestone storytelling, and history-grounded thought leadership content.
Public-Facing Storytelling & Interpretation — starting at $3,000 per project
Ongoing series and multi-piece projects are scoped collaboratively. Contact us to discuss your goals and timeline.
Archive-ready documentation
Capturing interviews is only the first step. Without professional documentation, recordings become difficult to search, share, or use — and their value diminishes over time. Triangle Story Studio prepares oral history materials to professional archival standards, ensuring that what you collect remains accessible, intelligible, and genuinely useful for years to come.
This is a good fit for institutions preserving leadership insight for future reference, HR and governance teams managing organizational knowledge, and any organization that wants to ensure its interviews are built for use — not just storage. Work includes interview recordings with full metadata, transcripts and indexed summaries, thematic tagging and organization, and preservation-ready digital collections.
Archive-Ready Documentation — $100–150/hour
Projects are scoped based on volume and complexity. Contact us for an estimate.
Why work with triangle story studio?
Institutional knowledge work requires more than a good interviewer. It requires someone who understands how organizations function, how memory works, how stories can be ethically captured and responsibly used — and how to produce something that will hold its value over time.
Kathryn Wall brings more than twenty-five years of professional oral history practice to every engagement, along with a Ph.D. in United States History, advanced training in documentary audio, and deep experience working with complex organizational histories at the community and institutional level. She has spent her career doing this work inside real organizations, navigating the sensitivities that arise when lived experience intersects with institutional reputation, leadership transition, and public narrative.
Triangle Story Studio delivers work that is professionally rigorous, ethically grounded, and designed for long-term use — not just a deliverable that sits in a folder. Every project begins with a clear scope, proceeds with transparent communication, and ends with materials that are genuinely useful to the people who commissioned them.
If you're considering this kind of work, the best next step is a conversation. We'll help you figure out whether a project makes sense, what it should include, and what it will take to do it well.
Project Design & consulting
The most expensive oral history mistake is starting without a clear plan. Triangle Story Studio provides strategic guidance for organizations planning oral history or storytelling initiatives — helping you define goals, scope work realistically, and make informed decisions before committing resources. This service can stand alone or serve as the foundation for a larger project.
This is a good fit for organizations exploring documentation work for the first time, teams that want clarity before investing, and institutions navigating complex or sensitive histories that require careful ethical and strategic thinking before recording begins. Work includes project scoping and design, interview and narrative strategy, consent and legal considerations, and advisory support through periods of transition or growth.
Project Design & Consulting — starting at $1,500
Some organizations need a single strategic session; others benefit from ongoing advisory support throughout a project. Contact us to discuss what level of engagement makes sense.
