Someone knows who is in that photograph. Someone remembers what happened next.
Keep their voice with the image, and give the next person more than a picture to look at.
Start a conversation.
Choose a photograph and one question. Record a short recollection with permission, or invite a written answer.
Keep each person's account.
Preserve the original recording and who contributed it. If two people remember an event differently, keep both accounts attributed.
Make it easy to return to.
Add names, dates and a transcript you can correct. Use the selected material in an annotated album or a chapter of your life book.
A first project: five photographs from a family trip, the names you can confirm and a short recorded story for each.
Share a collection, not a whole vault.
Choose which images and recollections a reader may receive. A contribution to one story does not grant access to everyone else's private records.
When you want to plan future access, choose your legacy separately.
