Lives Before Us tells emotionally meaningful stories about remarkable people, forgotten events, and everyday moments from the past.

Through archival photographs, original narration, oral histories, and carefully limited visualization, we explore the decisions, relationships, courage, and resilience that shaped ordinary lives.

We also believe history lives inside every family. If you, or someone you love, has a life story, memory, relationship, tradition, or defining moment that deserves to be preserved, we want to hear from you.

Lives Before Us is growing into a legacy storytelling studio, creating personal documentary films and meaningful keepsakes that families can preserve and pass from one generation to the next.

Every life leaves a story. Let’s make sure yours is remembered.

Lives Before Us

Before the Hubble Space Telescope changed our view of the universe, someone had to help turn a scientific hope into a program NASA could actually build.

Nancy Grace Roman joined the young NASA in 1959 and became its first Chief of Astronomy. She brought scientists and engineers together, helped define requirements for a large space telescope, and built support for the work across years of institutional effort.

Roman described her own part with care: “My role in Hubble was as program scientist.” Hubble was the achievement of a vast collaboration—not one person—but her work helped make that collaboration possible.

In 2020, NASA named the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in her honor.

Who else behind a familiar achievement deserves to be remembered?
