The part we do by hand.
An archive is only useful if it reaches the person it is about, and the people who need it most are the least likely to open an app. Studio is everything that happens off the screen. It is available on every plan, including the free one.
Made properly, by people.
A digital frame, posted out already paired to your archive, so it works the moment it is plugged in. It cycles the photographs you have chosen and quietly adds new ones as the family uploads them.
- •No setup, no wifi password typed by someone who cannot see the keyboard
- •Captions read at a distance, with the year and the place
- •Built for a bedside table in a care home, which is where most of them will go
A printed book of the images and stories you choose, laid out properly, with the map of where each one happened. Print a year, print a person, or print the lot.
- •You choose what goes in, we handle the design
- •Places printed as maps, not just addresses
- •Reprint any volume at any time, because the archive is still there
The loft is the reason most families never start. Send us the box. We scan every print in it, date what can be dated, place what can be placed, and put the whole lot into your archive with the originals posted back.
- •Printed photographs of any size, loose or still in albums
- •Tracked both ways, and we tell you when it lands
- •Your originals always come home
Somebody is already visiting on a Sunday. What stops the recording happening is not the opportunity, it is not knowing what to ask. So we supply the questions, written for that person, and you press record on the phone in your pocket.
- •Questions written for them, arriving a few at a time rather than as a daunting list
- •Record in as many short goes as it takes, across weeks, catching the good days
- •We transcribe it, split it into chapters, place it on the map and tag it
- •The person asking is in the recording too, which is rather the point
The Remembrance Book
Made after a death, and only if the family asks. Everything that person left in the archive, gathered into one book: their photographs, their stories in their own words, the map of every place they lived, and the things the rest of the family added about them afterwards.
It arrives in the weeks after the funeral, which is when the cards stop and the house goes quiet. Copies for everyone who wants one.
Your photographs never pass through more hands than they have to.
For anything that has to be posted, we send you Storees packaging, pre-paid and tracked both ways, addressed to the studio that will do the work. Nothing is forwarded on, so your originals make one journey out and one journey home.
Recordings are made by the family, not by us, and that is deliberate rather than a saving. A person with dementia will say more to a grandchild sitting next to them than to anyone we could send, and short goes across several weeks catch the good days in a way one booked session never can. What families lack is not the opportunity. It is knowing what to ask, and that is the part we supply.
The shoebox service is for printed photographs, loose or still in albums, of any size and any age.
