This preserved family footage is part of an expanding oral history archive. Additional restored recordings, edited documentary segments, and family materials will continue to be added over time.
Some memories survive in photographs.
Some survive in stories.
And some survive because someone took the time to preserve them before they disappeared.
Long before Bangkok. Long before Kenya. Long before the name Wanzia ever appeared in my life...
my grandfather was already speaking about family, history, Wanza, and the fragments that remained.
This archive preserves the voices, memories, footage, and oral histories connected to that lineage.
