Before the stories scatter
Collect the memories while everyone still knows why they matter.
A family reunion memory book that captures the stories, recipes, places, and voices that surface when the whole family is finally together. For organizers planning a family reunion memory book, it gives each branch a simple way to contribute around the gathering. Autograph helps you record the voices and memories around a real occasion, then turns them into a private story archive you can relive and export. Walter, Autograph's AI biographer, makes the collection easier by guiding people with warm prompts and follow-up questions.
Elders record origin stories in their own voices.
Cousins preserve memories sparked by being together.
Recipes, places, sayings, and traditions get captured with context.

Who to invite
Start with the people who hold different pieces of the story.
The best projects do not ask everyone the same broad question. They route each person toward a small, specific memory they are likely to hold.
Invite
- Grandparents and elders
- Aunts, uncles, and cousins
- New spouses and younger relatives
- Family historians and reunion organizers
Ask
- What story does everyone mention but nobody has recorded?
- Which place still explains this family?
- What should the youngest generation know about where they come from?

Does this work if relatives live in different places?
Yes. The reunion gives the family a shared occasion and reason to contribute, but relatives can contribute from anywhere.
Can we collect recipes and traditions too?
Yes. Guided prompts can collect details around recipes, places, rituals, and family sayings so the archive has context.
What can the organizer do with the story library?
