The Occupational Narratives Database is a collection of digital stories from people of all ages and ability around the world. The digital stories highlight the rich and diverse occupations that give meaning to people’s lives. Through the videos, people are able to tell their story and share what it means to them about what they do or cannot do in their daily lives.

WFOT will suspend submissions to the Occupational Narratives Database from January 2025. The videos in the Database will remain accessible but the submission closure will allow our project volunteers to focus on researching the rich qualitative data regarding occupation that is contained within the narratives. WFOT invites remaining submissions to the Occupational Narratives Database by December 31, 2024.

For more information, or to contribute or view a digital story, go to the Occupational Narratives Database website.
