SOUND FAMILIAR?
We hear this all the time.
"We have decades of incredible photos and content but it is completely inaccessible, unsearchable and at risk of being lost forever."
Archivists & Heritage Teams"We really want to be giving back to our alumni and offering them value in being connected to us but with limited time and even more limited resources it’s extremely challenging"
Alumni Relations & Development"Our community engagement could be so much better. We have amazing stories to tell but we just do not have a system to capture, organise and share them effectively and securely."

"We were delighted to work with d the team to launch the Rowan SocialArchive as part of our 90th anniversary celebrations. The platform is an amazing way for us to celebrate the stories, achievements and everyday moments that make our school community so special."
Rowan Preparatory SchoolGive every alumnus their own piece of your history.
Most school archives are full of incredible photos, documents and content that nobody can find. SocialArchive's facial recognition technology changes that instantly. Upload your archive and our technology automatically identifies people across decades of images.
Every alumnus can then be delivered a personalised gallery of their time with you. Photos from their year group, their teams, their performances and their friends. Documents, certificates and content that feature them, with automatic notifications whenever new content is added that includes them.
When alumni discover themselves in your archive, they re-engage. It is one of the most powerful tools we have ever seen for bringing a community back together.

Alumni reunions are emotionally powerful moments but treating them as isolated events leaves enormous engagement and fundraising potential on the table.
Starting a digital archive doesn't require an archivist, a perfect system or a major project. This practical guide explains how schools can begin small and build sustainably.
Growing concerns around safeguarding, consent and digital footprints are prompting many schools to review how they share student images online.
