Organize, Preserve, and Share with Collectionaire.com

Your family history data, images, and movies might be on the web in a variety of places from genealogy sites to movie hosting platforms. Now imagine that you can create an online collection that gives you all those links in one place.  Then write a family narrative within that site and be able to share as well as collaborate with other family.  In one place you’ll have links to Uncle Jim’s pictures of the last family reunion in Google Photos, Aunt Sue’s family history project, Ancestry.com pages, and young Jimmy’s home movies on YouTube and so much more.  That’s the concept behind Collectionaire, a two-year-old brilliant solution that lets us gather all our web links to family in one place. 

Collectionaire is a simple but smart cloud app for building a curated digital collection of a family’s best photo albums, home movies, audio recordings, journals, etc… anything that can be digitized for future viewing.  Users can add photos, recitals, and art projects to a child’s collection; create a legacy tribute to a lost parent; or assemble the best of a family’s vacations, holidays, and special events together.

It’s not a photo storage site, but a “hub” that’s used with photo and video cloud sites like Apple Photos, Google Photos, Vimeo, and others, and aggregates all your media into one elegant, easy to navigate family site. Each person and each family has a “collection page”, and viewers link to each via their family tree. So now even your parents can find your family’s best memories and view them on any computer, tablet or mobile device.
