Independent family archive

A life, told through many threads.

The Tioluwalase Majekodunmi Family Archive is LegacyHub Digital Heritage’s flagship example of how a family story can be preserved through biography, timeline, photographs, documents, family memories, lessons, tributes and documentary material.

It illustrates how a narrative and its supporting material can come together. The scope of your own archive will reflect your family’s material, wishes and permissions.

The preservation approach

One life, organised so its meaning remains visible.

The archive demonstrates how family knowledge and documentary material can be given a clear structure without losing the warmth and character of the person at its centre.

01

The story

A long-form biography gives the life a narrative thread, connecting family, experience, values and contribution.

02

The material

Photographs, documents, recollections, tributes and documentary material add evidence, texture and different family voices.

03

The structure

Biography, timeline, memories and lessons are organised as connected parts of one archive rather than isolated files.

04

The purpose

The finished archive gives present and future generations a considered point of reference for the story and its context.

What we preserve

The material that makes a life recognisable.

Not simply files in a folder, but photographs, voices and records organised with enough context for someone in the future to understand why they matter.

02Photographs & captions
03Documents & letters
04Timelines & meaningful places
