Where Family History Becomes
a Digital Legacy
A private platform for families to document their stories, protect their archives, and pass them on for generations to come.
Who We Are
Born from Studio Lucille’s mission to honor legacy through art and storytelling, Founding Family continues that tradition — this time, through your own family’s stories.
Everything You Need to Preserve Your Family Story
Founding Family gives you the tools to collect, organize,
and preserve your family’s stories in one safe place.
Create a private archive where every generation can contribute photos, memories, voice notes, and wisdom — turning your family history into a living, growing record of who you are.

A Place for Every Story
We’ve been scanning photos for years but never had a real home for them. Founding Family finally gave us a place where our stories live together — my kids can hear my grandmother’s voice and see her handwriting in one space.

Reconnecting the Roots
I invited my cousins to contribute and within a week we uncovered photos we didn’t even know existed. It made us feel closer, even living in different states.

Healing Through Memory
My dad passed before I could ask him everything I wanted to know. Building our family archive helped me piece together our history and share it with my son. It’s more than a project — it’s a gift.

FAQs
Who can access my family archive?
Only the people you invite. Each archive is private and can be shared securely with specific family members.
How safe is my data?
Your family’s information is encrypted and stored securely in the cloud. We take privacy seriously — your stories belong to you, not us.
Is Founding Family available outside the U.S.?
Currently in beta in the U.S., with international access coming soon.
What types of content can I upload?
You can upload photos, videos, audio, documents, and written stories. We support most standard file types so you can preserve everything from birth certificates to voice recordings.
Can I invite extended family members?
Yes! Depending on your plan, you can add as many family members as you’d like — grandparents, cousins, or anyone contributing to your shared story.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
You’ll still have access to download your content. We never hold your memories hostage.
Can I print or share my archive outside the platform?
Yes, we’re building features that allow you to create digital books, downloadable timelines, or shareable family trees — perfect for reunions and keepsakes.
Our Stories
Live Here
Every family carries history — photos fading in albums, recipes written on napkins, stories told only at reunions. Founding Family was created to keep those memories alive, connected, and accessible for generations.
It’s not just about where we come from — it’s about who we become when we remember.
