From archive to heirloom
Create a family history book from real memories
Gather stories and photographs first, then choose the chapters that belong in a Life Book you can read, download, and—when available—approve for printing.
Save your first memory
How it works
Collect the stories
Save memories in any order and connect their people, places, and photographs.
Arrange the chapters
Choose what belongs in the book and put each story in the right sequence.
Review the finished pages
Preview the edition and download a reading PDF before any available print order.
What stays with the memory
The archive stays larger than the book
Keep private material in the archive while selecting only the stories meant for an edition.
Photographs stay connected
Choose captions and placement without separating an image from its story.
Proof before print
A printed order requires availability, an exact proof, and a separate confirmation.
Questions before you begin
Clear answers
Can I download the book?
Yes. A reading PDF can be downloaded from the Life Book.
Does saving a story automatically publish it?
No. You choose which stories enter a Life Book and review the edition before sharing or printing.
Is hardcover printing always available?
No. It depends on configured printing, an available credit, a current quote, proof approval, payment, and final confirmation.
