When a family member is gone, what will be remembered of his or her life? How will their stories be told? What legacy should be left behind? Creating a photo estate may help you answer all of these questions.

A photo estate is a printed or digital collection of photos, film, video, documents and memorabilia organized in a manner that allows another person or persons to view the photos, learn about the lives documented and be impacted by the legacy of those people. Photo estates often include much written word including letters, notes, genealogy papers and more.

Learn what needs to be done, who can do it, and get a plan to get all of the media organized and preserved to enjoy today and pass on to future generations.
