Family memory, source intact

Keep the story close enough to feel.

Whakapapa turns letters, voices, photos, and family lines into a living archive your whānau can trust.

How It Works

One archive. Three kinds of memory.

Pattern 01 / Source

Recover

Letters, photos, and margin notes become searchable source material.

Every extracted person, place, and date stays tied to the artifact it came from.

Pattern 02 / Voice

Listen

Voice recordings keep cadence, pauses, and translation beside the transcript.

Oral history remains testimony, not just text in a database.

Pattern 03 / Relation

Trace

Family lines resolve as evidence you can check, update, and pass on.

Relationships are visible without losing the source trail behind them.

Pass It On

Send memory forward without thinning it out.

Share a person, source, or story with context attached: who said it, where it came from, and how it belongs in the line.
