Archoral attended the NGS Conference, engaging with genealogists, family historians, and preservation-focused organizations to explore more connected ways of preserving people, places, records, relationships, and stories.
Archoral joined photo managers and preservation professionals at The Photo Managers Conference 2025, showcasing how photos, documents, stories, and family history can evolve from simple organization into a connected, living archive.
A family scrapbook may combine photographs, handwriting, newspaper clippings, cards, fabric, and other fragile materials. Photograph or scan every page in order, capture close-ups of important details, and record who created the scrapbook and what its arrangement means.
Many family memories now exist only on phones, computers, social platforms, and online accounts. Preserve them by exporting the original files, keeping dates and context, organizing them in a consistent structure, and maintaining more than one backup copy.
Before adding media to a family archive, gather the original files, remove true duplicates, preserve the highest-quality version, standardize filenames, and record the people, dates, places, and rights information associated with each item.
