Newlywords alternative
A Newlywords alternative when the memory book needs voices and context
Newlywords helps groups collect letters and photos into collaborative memory books for reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, and life stories. Autograph adds guided capture for the stories behind those submissions.
Voice note
"What would only you remember about this reunion?"
A short reunion note became stories about family branches, recipes, nicknames, and who took care of everyone.
Letters, photos, voice notes, prompted stories, and contributor context in one project.

- You want a collaborative book built from letters and photos.

Autograph workflow
From collaborative book entries to a fuller memory archive
Autograph is a stronger fit when the family wants to collect more than polished letters and keep the raw voices and context too.
Define the project
Pick the event, memorial, reunion, birthday, anniversary, or chapter that deserves its own collection window.
Invite contributors
Share a simple project link so guests, relatives, and friends can add memories before, during, or after the moment.
Collect more than files
Bring in photos, videos, voice notes, written memories, and follow-up details that explain what happened and why it mattered.
Organize the story
Autograph turns scattered contributions into a private project library with the people, places, and moments connected.
Preserve the keepsake
The finished project can support a durable family keepsake instead of leaving everyone with another temporary gallery.
