The Association of Personal Historians (APH) was an international non-profit trade association dedicated to developing, supporting and marketing the work of self-employed writers and small businesses who are engaged in preparing print, video, and audio memoirs recording the lives of individuals, families, and communities. Formed in the United States in 1995, it had a global membership of over 650 at its peak,[1][2] before dissolving in May 2017, due to "financial constraints and membership trends".[3]
The APH's mission statement was to "support... its members in recording, preserving and sharing life stories of people, families, communities and organizations around the world."[4] According to the organization, its members "help other people create personal histories, including memoirs, video tributes, autobiographies, biographies, family histories, heritage cookbooks, community histories, corporate and organizational histories, legacy letters, and ethical wills."[2]
