Live forever
Some things should outlast the phone they were taken on.
Every family has a shoebox. Then a hard drive. Then a cloud account under someone's name, with a password nobody else knows. Each one holds a decade, and each one gets lost. To Keep Safe is the box that doesn't — one archive, kept by the family, for as long as there is one.
Past
The people who remember are the ones you'll lose first.
Scan the prints. Add the photographs that live on your parents’ phones. Then do the thing nobody gets round to: sit with the people who were there, open the pictures, and let them talk. A recording under a photograph — that’s your grandfather, he hated that suit — takes thirty seconds to make and cannot be made later.
Name everyone. A grandmother in the archive has her own page, every photograph she appears in, her dates, and the voices that go with her — whether or not she ever touched a computer.

She made me practise for a fortnight and still trod on my foot at the end. Best night of my life.
Present
Every occasion adds a chapter as it happens.
A wedding, a christening, a fortieth. Each one has its own page for the day and a card on every table, so the seventy people who were there add what they took — in the moment, with nothing to install. It lands in the archive already, tagged, in place, with their names on it.
Between occasions, the ordinary: Sunday lunch, the first day of school, the dog on the beach. The archive doesn’t distinguish between the grand and the small, and in twenty years neither will you.

Come and be loud about it. The garden if it’s fine, the barn if it isn’t.

Kept the way a house is kept — by whoever comes next.
An archive has keepers, not an owner. When a keeper dies, the next one is already named. Nothing is locked to a login that nobody can open.
Everything can be exported, complete, at any time — every original file in ordinary formats, and a plain list of who’s who and what was said. If you stop paying, the archive goes read-only. It is never deleted for non-payment. And there is no advertising, nothing sold, no AI trained on your grandmother’s face.
The point is a page that a child not yet born will open one day, and hear a voice.

Common questions
- What does “kept for good” mean at To Keep Safe?
- It means the archive has keepers rather than an owner, everything can be exported at any time in ordinary formats, and it is never deleted for non-payment. If payment stops, the archive simply becomes read-only.
- What happens to our archive when a keeper dies?
- The next keeper is already named, so nothing is locked to a login nobody can open. The archive passes to whoever comes next, the way a house is kept.
- Do you use our photographs for advertising or AI?
- No. There is no advertising, nothing about you is sold, and no AI is ever trained on your family's photographs.
One archive. Every generation. The voices as well as the faces.
