You can share what you discover with others, and connect with your past in a way you could not with a box of old photos, a scrapbook of clippings, or a DVD of pictures.
Your .HistoryArchive.Online will allow you to explore your past in a new way and share it with others.
The "My History Archive" is user-friendly and easy to learn. We have focused on making it as simple as possible so that everyone can browse, search, view, clip, and share your family’s past, but powerful enough for more robust research. You will be able to just type a keyword or phrase and hit “enter”, or create a more complex search by using the more advanced query builder.
WHY RENT WHEN YOU CAN BUY?
Genealogists often find themselves limited to large content aggregators and subscription services for performing their research, as well as organizing and viewing their family history online. These sites are rich sources of content that you likely will not discover elsewhere... but not everyone is willing or able to pay for an increasingly cost-prohibitive membership. There have also been growing concerns over how some sites have monetized and benefited from the content created and research performed by their user community.
There IS another way!
You can share your history if you so choose, at no cost to others. These are your photos, videos, documents, slides, negatives, and research. You own it. You control it. You decide who gets to use it and how. You retain all ownership rights. We will not sell, use, or feature your digital files without your consent. You can cancel at any time, and we will remove any of your files from our servers, and dispose of the backups so you retain full control of your materials.
BRING YOUR PAST TO THE PRESENT
Old pictures, documents, and videos all contain bits and pieces of your past. When viewed collectively, they tell a story of who you are and where you came from.
Without a doubt, you have a stash of family photos or albums taking up space on a bookshelf or hidden away in a hope chest. Someone in your family has a box of old photos, negatives, or slides collecting dust in a closet. There might be a storage box tucked away in your basement that holds a book of newspaper clippings of your high school achievements, and maybe a yearbook or two. You might have a small shoebox of grandma’s index cards with her recipes written out in her own handwriting.
Letters, military records, family genealogy records, old concert tickets, a showbill from your first play, home movies...all excerpts of your history, recorded in countless formats, stored out of sight in the nooks and crannies of your home.
Each piece of this personal history provides a clue as to what makes you, you. Each piece offers insight into the people, places, and events that shaped your life, your family, and your community.

GROW YOUR ARCHIVE
Your personal history isn’t doesn’t begin or end with a single document, book, or the research that was put into developing a family tree. Your history has been recorded in countless formats over the years, from letters, photos, and video, to old family recipes, journals, and newspaper clippings. Not only is it impractical to organize and access your physical original materials, handling them too often leads to damage and eventually, loss. Photos can tear, fade, or discolor. Videos and film can become brittle and crack or break, it is easy to scratch, and plastic cassettes are not as durable as you might think. Paper is fragile, making it vulnerable, and at risk of being lost to the ravages of time.
The originals should be stored properly for safekeeping and handled as little as possible. Fortunately, preserving the original materials does not mean you can’t have access to them. On the contrary, you have the option of making them more accessible than ever before.
