The Archive
A digital and physical bank of the lives of humans told through personal video interviews.
A digital and physical bank of the lives of humans told through personal video interviews.
Before writing was widespread people's stories were remembered through oral tradition. If stories were passed down it was often done inaccurately and lasted two generations at most.
Today, a tombstone, photo album, and a handful of stories passed down by close relations will survive only a handful of generations. To those that visit your grave, you'll just be a name and a date.
The Archive will safeguard stories both digitally and physically, for thousands of generations to come through personal recorded video interviews, and professionally crafted leather-bound books.
The perfect way to remember someone you care about and a way for their story to be appreciated forever
The Archive's mission is to preserve life stories for the future so others may learn from, and interact with, and appreciate their legacy.
The Archive's purpose is not to glorify the accomplished but rather to give everyone a chance to be remembered meaningfully into the future
All current forms of remembrance are technologically outdated. The alternative is the story and life being permanently lost over time
We encourage anyone that wants to have lasting video memory of a life of someone dear to them, or has their own story to tell, to make a Submission
If you're curious about our questions, try and answer some with family or friends.
