They changed our world. We preserve their stories.
The Archive Foundation preserves and digitizes family histories and personal stories through innovative storytelling and online archives, ensuring that they are accessible for educators, researchers, and future generations.
Modern life as we know it is a mosaic of innovations, from technology to medicine to social organizations and beyond. The individuals and families behind these advancements applied determination, cleverness, and values handed down from one generation to the next. Their photos, documents, and stories are too often stowed away in dusty boxes, their memories too easily forgotten. We're building a place where those stories can live on, through thoughtfully created films, restored photos, and the original documents themselves.
