What Archoral Does

Archoral is a connected digital archive platform that helps families, genealogists, preservation professionals, and community organizations preserve and organize people, places, photographs, documents, stories, objects, relationships, events, and shared history.

Unlike conventional file storage or a traditional family tree, Archoral connects information across an archive. A photograph, document, story, person, place, event, or object can be connected wherever it belongs without creating separate copies of the same record.
