Private
Visible only to the contributor and authorized archive managers. This is the default for every new upload.
FAMILY & FUTURE · PRIVATE ARCHIVE
The Family Room
A protected place for photographs, stories, memories, artwork and the things we want to keep together.
Private archive in development.
Public access is intentionally disabled until authenticated access and protected storage are fully tested.
HOW IT WILL WORK
Private by default.
Uploading something never means publishing it. Every item has an explicit visibility state.
Family
Shared only with authenticated family members who have been granted access.
Approved for Public
A deliberate publishing decision. Public copies are web-resolution derivatives with sensitive metadata removed.
ASSET GOVERNANCE
You stay in control.
The archive is being designed around the asset—not around a social feed.
UploadAdd a photograph, story, artwork or document.
VisibilityPrivate / Family / Approved for Public.
ReplaceUpdate a file without losing its story.
RetireRemove it from active views while preserving history.
Download OriginalAuthorized members can recover the protected master.
DeletePermanently remove material when appropriate.
Children’s photographs: always begin Private. Nothing involving a child is intended for public display without a deliberate approval decision.
NEXT IMPLEMENTATION STEP

Authentication before invitation.
The visible interface is ready to become the front door, but the door stays locked until server-side authentication, protected file storage, upload permissions and public-derivative processing are connected and tested.
