DIGITAL ARCHIVE & ENGAGEMENT PLATFORM
The digital archive and engagement platform for your community
YourArchive helps historical societies, libraries, community archives and organisations preserve their history, capture memories and bring their communities together.
Most archival platforms help you store your collections. YourArchive helps you share them, grow them and build a community around them.
Bring your collections together in one secure place
Photos, documents, video and audio, uploaded, organised and protected in scalable, secure cloud storage. Professional archival standards, built for archivists and non-technical users alike.
01 - COLLECT
Create a living archive that grows with your community
Everything in your collection becomes searchable and discoverable. Curate content into galleries, publish to your community portal and control exactly who sees what. Invite contributions from your community and watch your archive grow, always on your terms.
02 - BUILD
03 - ENGAGE
Turn your history into a tool for connection
When people find themselves (or people they know) in your history, they want to contribute to it. Members share memories, identify faces, add stories and bring your archive to life in ways you never could alone. History becomes the reason your community stays connected.
Most archival platforms store your history.
YourArchive brings it to life.

Anniversaries and MilestonesSINGING RIVER GENEALOGY AND LOCAL HISTORY LIBRARY, MISSISSIPPI - AMERICA250 LEGACY GRANT
"As part of the America250 Legacy Grant provided by the Mississippi Humanities Council, the Singing River Genealogy and Local History Library selected YourArchive as the digital platform to display its archival collections. History should be easily accessible for all and be curated with the user in mind. Currently we are focusing on the history of Jackson and George Counties in Mississippi. We have acquired and digitized oral histories and local television programs. We will expand these collections to include historical family collections and artifacts from local organizations to increase access. Many historical documents and artifacts in South Mississippi have fallen victim to fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. In an area that is so prone to natural disaster, it is imperative that we do our part to preserve what we have for posterity."
Laura Thompson, MLIS — Manager, Singing River Genealogy and Local History Library

Spoken Stories
Capture living memories through guided video and audio recording from anyone in your community, anywhere in the world. Every submission is auto-transcribed, catalogued and preserved.
Community portal and access control
A fully branded space where your community can explore your history. Publish curated galleries, control exactly who sees what and manage access at every level. Redaction and watermarking tools protect sensitive content before anything is published.
Community contributions and moderation
Invite members to contribute their own photographs, documents and memories directly into your archive. Every submission passes through a moderation workflow before anything goes live. Community members can comment on material, reply to each other and receive notifications when conversations continue.
Virtual Spaces
Build immersive 3D tours of your historic buildings and spaces, layered with archival photographs, film, audio and personal stories.
