Beyond the screen

GeoTales breathes life back into the printed word.

The finest contributions on the map are curated into physical media — so a story outlives the screen it was read on. Proceeds fund the archive; GeoTales is a non-profit.

Annual Global Anthology

A Year in the World

The most moving stories pinned across the globe this year, bound into one volume — a single year of the human experience, place by place.

Regional Collection

Stories from the Mediterranean

Voices gathered around one sea — fishermen, grandmothers, night-bakers and ferry hands — from a dozen shores that share the same water.

Regional Collection

Voices of the High Andes

Oral histories mapped along the spine of a continent before they disappear — weavers, masons, herders, and the keepers of mountain water.

Local archives

Help your town print its own history.

Small communities can collect their map contributions into a local history book — oral histories, photographs of a single street over decades, the stories a place tells about itself. We help with the curation and the printing.
