Special thank you to Meara, an Archivist and Historic Preservationist

In this powerful first episode of Our Family Album Project, we sit down with a professional archivist to explore the real risks of losing a generation’s stories in the digital age. From the dangers of relying on cloud storage and social media to the surprising truth about what actually lasts, we dive deep into what it really means to preserve a legacy.

We talk about why tape won’t save your memories, how handwritten letters and printed photos carry emotional weight that digital files can’t replicate, and why context—not just content—is everything. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed about preserving your family history, this conversation is a must-listen.

Your stories matter. Let's make sure they’re not forgotten.
