In what ways is life different?

Don’t have any home movies? Make some! Recently filmed videos can be fun and interesting to watch too!

 

How is this Family History?

 

Home movies are a powerful family history record, they can bring out the everyday moments that are small but significant. This medium allows us to see our history in real time. Home movies preserve a visual and verbal record of those we love for not only ourselves but for future generations.
