Before choosing a room, decide what the visitor should understand or feel.
The archive may be incomplete. Instead of inventing a complete story, acknowledge the gaps and build a restrained emotional thread from what remains.
WHAT TO PREPARE
A small, deliberate set of material
- Photographs from different stages
- Specific moments and remembered words
- An object, place or piece of sound
- Source notes and necessary family permission
FOUR STEPS
- Decide who the space is for
- Keep only moments that can be truthfully explained
- Use chapters when exact dates are unknown
- Check privacy and permission before sharing

View the caseCan I make one from an incomplete archive?
Yes. Use chapters and themes rather than inventing dates or events for completeness.
Should it be public?
It depends on the material. Family and relationship content is often better shared within a group you choose.
