Our Family Album Project
Warm Welcome
💚 Our Family Album Project, and it’s all about helping families finally get their photos off their phones and into real-life albums.
📕 This is a project I’ve been dreaming about for a while, and I’m finally making it real! I’ll be sharing stories, tips, and behind-the-scenes from my own journey — and I hope it inspires you to start your own too.
🎙️ Coming soon: inspiring interviews to support you on your memory-keeping journey. You'll hear from professionals like historians who share the rich legacy of family albums from the past, and graphic designers who offer expert tips on layouts and design. We’ll also feature real-life stories—from a bride who lost all her wedding photos and the incredible community effort to recreate her album, to busy moms finding creative ways to preserve their family’s memories in between nap time and soccer practice.
🙏I just launched a Patreon if you’d like to support the podcast and get some fun extras! The goal of the Patreon is to buy more photo albums to review for you. So we can choose the best photo album together. Whether it’s budget friendly or heirloom quality.
If you’re into family history, photo albums, storytelling, memory-keeping follow along here and on Instagram at @ourfamilyalbumproject
Let’s make something beautiful together.

We Forgot to Remember: The Digital Decline of Family History An Interview with An Archivist
Special thank you to Meara, an Archivist and Historic Preservationist
In this powerful first episode of Our Family Album Project, we sit down with a professional archivist to explore the real risks of losing a generation’s stories in the digital age. From the dangers of relying on cloud storage and social media to the surprising truth about what actually lasts, we dive deep into what it really means to preserve a legacy.
We talk about why tape won’t save your memories, how handwritten letters and printed photos carry emotional weight that digital files can’t replicate, and why context—not just content—is everything. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed about preserving your family history, this conversation is a must-listen.
Your stories matter. Let's make sure they’re not forgotten.
