Are you documenting your family history or just looking to archive your family’s best memories? MyFamilyArchive may be just what you are looking for.
Our cloud app uses your family tree to create collections for each person in your family so that you can easily organize ALL of your family's history and digitized memories. With MyFamilyArchive, you’ll have one secure private site where all your family’s memories can be enjoyed by your family for years to come.
With MyFamilyArchive, your family memories can all be shared in one interactive collection. Finally show the full canvas of your life story and the story of those you love.
Think of it like an online scrapbook. Your family tree acts as a treasure trove of every family member's story, told through everything from written journals, to newspaper clippings, to your scanned photos or home videos, and much more.
With MyFamilyArchive, each person and each family has a "Collection Page" where you can add albums and write about your milestones and memories. You might add photos, recitals, and art creations to a child’s collection; create a legacy tribute to a lost grandparent; or add the best of your family’s vacations, holidays, and special events to your family collection page.
Each collection page is a table of contents to a rich life.
Does your family already have multiple cloud storage sites where you store memories? No problem. With MyFamilyArchive, you can easily link to most any photo or video cloud site.
>While keeping one cloud site is best practice, realistically in a family each family member may have their own preferred cloud site. Thanks to MyFamilyArchive, that's ok. You can use MyFamily Archive to view media from each person's cloud site in one central hub that's easily accessible.
With MyFamilyArchive, you'll access all your family memories using your family tree. Building your tree is easy, and you can add just immediate family members or build out your tree to extended family or even hundreds of ancestors. you can even import a GEDCOM file from a genealogy app like Ancestry.com to quickly populate your tree.
Once created, clicking on any person takes you to their Personal Collection Page. This intuitive navigation is so easy that even the least-technical family members can find all your memories.
Create a free account and explore this interactive sample collection.
If your photos are not yet organized, or home movies are sitting on a shelf as video tapes or DVDs, we will guide you to getting them organized and shareable with the entire family, regardless of what mobile or desktop device they use.
Simple permission settings give you complete control over which media items you allow others to see and which stay private.
And you can grant selective edit privileges to friends and family members to add to your collection.
How does MyFamilyArchive index all your media but not store any of it?
The key is that over 90% of cloud photo and video apps allow you to safely and privately “share” any content stored there... a video, a photo, a digital photo album, an audio recording, a pdf, etc… via a “Share Link”.
In MyFamilyArchive, these links are simply added to a person’s or family’s collection page, along with a title, description, and preview image. Then, when the preview image is clicked, it takes the viewer to the media in the other cloud site. MyFamilyArchive calls each link a “Linked Album”.
