Digital Archives

You’ve created memories that should last longer than your lifetime. That’s why we’ve built a permanent home you can trust. We preserve data for the next generation, not for profit.

We're offering more than just another cloud storage service, we're creating digital archives. We care deeply about maintaining accessibility to digital materials for all time and the archival integrity of our platform.

We use readily available commercial and open source technology to achieve our ambitious mission and promise to you. You can rest assured that we're not taking any risks by re-inventing the wheel or making any outlandish new technology bets. We're making the most safe and conservative design choices and doing what makes plain sense.

With a Permanent digital archive you’re not just saving files, you’re protecting a digital legacy with family, friends and your whole community.
