YOUR HISTORY. YOUR WAY.
A "My History Archive" is not the only way to organize, store, or enjoy your digitized history. At no charge, we will provide you either with a set of DVDs or an 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB USB flash drive containing your complete archive, allowing you to view the images or videos on your DVD player, or upload them to your favorite photo management cloud service.
You can make as many duplicates as you would like of the DVD or flash drive, so you can make extra backups or create a copy to share with family and friends.
- A single DVD will hold approximately 2 hours of video, or around 400 - 600 photos (depending on the resolution the images were scanned at), or around 4.5GB total.
- An 8GB USB flash drive can hold between 750 - 1,000 images or 3.5 hours of video.
- A 16GB USB flash drive can hold between 1500 - 2,000 images or 7 hours of video.
- A 32GB USB flash drive can hold between 3000 to 4000 images or 14 hours of video.
We also offer an optional 500GB or 1TB USB hard drives that can be purchased for larger collections. Due to its large capacity, storing your collection on an external drive is more convenient than managing multiple DVDs or if your collection is greater than 32GB. Depending on the resolution, these high capacity drives can store tens of thousands of images and days worth of video.
A 500GB USB external hard drive can be purchased for $100. Depending on the image quality and file size, a 500GB hard drive has the storage capacity for nearly 50,000 images or over 200 hours of video.
The price for delivery on a 1TB USB external hard drive is $150, and it can hold over 100,000 images or close to 400 hours of video.
This Is YOUR History
Preserve It!
The history documented in the pictures, papers, and recordings you have accumulated over the years represents your personal history. You may not realize it, but that history is fading away a little bit each day. Your photos, home movies, documents, and slides are losing their color, beginning to become brittle, and losing the battle in the war against time. By creating a digital copy of the recorded accounts of your history, you capture the past in a format that is not susceptible to the same risk factors as your analog collection.
Archive It!
The "My History Archive" is an online hosting, search platform, and access tools that power your archive, transforming your collection of files into an archive that can be explored for new discoveries, or for reliving old memories. 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. As more people create open "My History Archive"s a network of free genealogical tools will emerge, allowing for “crowdsourcing” of your family history research.
Share It!
Family history does not need to be locked behind a paywall or exclusively available via a prohibitively expensive subscription service. This is YOUR history, and you can share it with anyone you choose, at any time, and on any device. You can also explore, clip, and share information you find on any "My History Archive" that an owner has made available to use as a free resource for others, or leverage the hundreds of free Community History Archives created by libraries, genealogical societies, heritage centers, and other institutions across the country.
Media & Backups
Your History Is Too Important Not To Protect
As part of your subscription to your "My History Archive", we will maintain backups of your digital collections on our secure servers. You may request a copy of your archive be sent to you in the event your DVD, HDD, the flash drive has been lost or damaged. You will only be charged for the replacement media. You can also make as many duplicates as you would like of the DVD or flash drive, so you can make extra backups or create a copy to share with family and friends.

Fading Memories
The history documented in the pictures, papers, and recordings you have accumulated over the years represents your personal history. You may not realize it, but that history is fading away a little bit each day...but there is a solution!
Why Should I?
Genealogists and hobbyists 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. That is no longer true!
What Can I Add?
Your personal history has been recorded in countless formats over the years, from letters, photos, and video, to old family recipes, journals, and newspaper clippings. There is no limit as to what you can add to your archive over time!
