Global:Ideas:Bank: In an age when e-mail and text messaging are making letter writing obsolete one program is fighting to create an online permanent record for future historians and biographers. The website www.libraryoflife.org is the brainchild of Stephen Forsyth who wanted a way to preserve the memory of his late brother, James. The project aims to record the names and biographies of as many people as possible. The site offers options to those who wish to keep their details private but other can post full biographies and photos.

Anyone can registrar there name and picture for free. For a fee of £16.25 they will be able to post unlimited text, up to 200 pictures, five minutes of film, and 20 minutes of sound. "The website will ensure that all future generations can learn from our experiences," said Henry Chamberlain, the managing director of the Library of Life Trust. "We believe it will become a duty for the young to help the older generations to take part."

The sites goal is to record generations of experiences and advice they are afraid is being lost in emails, text messages, and phone calls.
