Practical project guide · Family, Memory & Stories

Identify unlabeled family objects with a searchable attic archive

For families sorting inherited boxes, letters, photographs and objects with incomplete provenance.

Mystery items lose context quickly when objects are moved, relatives are unavailable and guesses become repeated as facts. A detective-style archive keeps observations, questions and sources separate.

What the workflow needs to make clear

  1. Assign a stable ID before moving or separating each object from its container
  2. Capture photographs, dimensions, inscriptions, materials and the exact discovery location
  3. Interview relatives with focused prompts and link each answer to the relevant object ID
  4. Maintain an index that labels confirmed facts, working hypotheses and open questions

The proposed project

Attic Archive Detective Kit tests a focused way to solve this problem. Its concrete output is: Object cards, question prompts, provenance links and archive index.

The public demo can be explored without registration, checkout or uploading personal files. The proposed one-time price is CHF 59; opening the preview does not trigger a payment.

Important boundary

This organizes family research and does not authenticate, date or value objects professionally.

Relevant topics: #family-archive · #provenance · #genealogy · #object-catalog

Would this remove real friction?

Open the working preview, inspect the scope and send an anonymous problem or price signal only if the situation is relevant to you.
