The cycle

A considered way to gather what matters.

01

Invite

You invite members, alumni, staff or community contributors. Each person uploads their own photographs and captions at their own pace.

02

Review

Your designated editor reviews all submissions. Only approved memories count toward the collection. Drafts and rejected files remain until removed.

03

Finished edition

When the collection is ready, export a designed digital album using credits. Each photo counts once; later edits and repeat exports are free. Owner originals export is always included.

Who it is for

A note for schools

Planning a school reunion?

Memory House supports school reunion collections with cohort-specific setup. Use the school-reunion setup for cohort labels, a fixed collection rhythm and expanded details.

Community heritage

Managed plan — for institutions

Every year, members move on. Committee members step down. Founding voices grow quieter. With each departure goes a piece of living institutional memory. The decisions behind the decisions. The early years that shaped everything that came after. The stories that explain why things are the way they are. Memory House exists so that institutions never have to lose what they have built.

Professional archivists, oral history consultants and heritage digitisation services can cost tens of thousands of rands for a single project. Memory House gives communities and institutions the same structured outcome at a fraction of that investment. R2,500 a year for up to 500 export credits. Collected by the people who were actually there.
