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.

The History of Family Photo Albums
The History of Family Photo Albums
In this episode of The Family Album Project, we explore the fascinating history of family photo albums—from the earliest 19th-century daguerreotypes to the modern-day digital scroll. Discover how albums evolved as technology changed, and why they became such treasured keepsakes across generations.
We’ll look at what early families chose to preserve, how album styles reflected the times, and what we might be losing in today’s digital age. Whether you're a memory keeper, a history buff, or just love flipping through old photos, this episode is for you.
🎧 Tune in and rediscover the stories behind the pages.
This Episode is Dedicated to our latest guest Meara Hill Archivist, Conservator and Genealogist. Thank you for all you do to preserve history. 💚
