Family archive

Give the things worth keeping a place together.

The photo in a drawer. The voice on your phone. The story only one person knows. Our Story connects family memories and records to the people they belong to.

Start with what you have

Upload a photograph, a recording or a PDF. Write down a memory while it is fresh. Give it a useful title, add the people involved, and keep the original alongside the details that help your family understand it.

You can build the archive a little at a time. You do not need a finished family tree.

A memory and a record each have their place

Memories hold photographs, voices, letters and personal stories. Records hold documentary sources, such as a birth certificate or a census page, and citations that explain where the information came from.

Keep the remembered story and the document together without assuming they say exactly the same thing. Add a note when a date, place or identity is uncertain.
