The mission of Great Memories is to connect people with family, friends, and community through the preservation of life's great memories. We envision a stronger King County community, building on our vibrant diversity to create a united sense of local heritage from near and far.
Whether you're looking to preserve decades of family photos, need support during difficult times, or want to ensure your family's legacy lives on, we're here to help with compassion and expertise.
Free events with professional scanning equipment, volunteers help digitize your photos onto USB drives, plus educational speaker series.
Online storytelling platform to organize visual archives with recorded oral histories, creating multimedia family narratives.
Mobile digitizing service for reunions, graduations, and celebrations - connecting generations through shared storytelling.
Collaborate with heritage organizations, cultural centers, and museums to preserve collective histories and community narratives.
We want to ensure that no family is priced out of preserving their precious moments, or their history. As a small organization, your support is what keeps us going. Every dollar directly funds free neighborhood scanning days, equips our volunteers with professional gear to scan photos, and builds the tools that turn photos and recorded voices into lasting digital archives.
Thank you for helping us keep these memories alive.
Your support means everything to a small local organization like ours. More importantly, it means our neighbors, and yours, can protect their family photos and stories and share them for generations to come.
Our volunteers run the scanners, welcome families through the door, and turn shoeboxes of photos into preserved memories. If you live, work, or learn in King County and can spare a few hours at a community event, we'd love to meet you.
We are excited to provide many opportunities for community members to get involved in the work we do. If you'd like to stay up to date on our development as well as our upcoming events, please sign up for our newsletter below! You'll be the first to hear about local events, new services, and get a glimpse into the work we do with our community partners throughout the year. Thanks for being a part of our Great Memories family!
