Free family legacy guide
Preserve the stories your family should never lose.
Download our practical Family Legacy Preservation Checklist and discover the photographs, documents, memories and stories worth organising for future generations.
Why this guide matters
Family history rarely begins in one organised place.
It is often scattered across phones, photo albums, drawers, old documents, WhatsApp messages and relatives' memories.
Audio and video recordings, certificates and letters may hold just as much context. The checklist helps families understand what may be worth preserving before a full digital archive project begins.

A useful first step
Begin with the family material you already have.
You do not need an organised collection. The checklist helps you look through one album, box or conversation at a time.
We ask only for contact details to deliver the resource. Do not upload or send private family documents through this form.
