Famous actors, political leaders and world-known athletes have had their lives recorded, over and over. But what about those who are more important to you—like your family? What about your grandparents? Your family genealogy? What about you? Who and what are you made of? What do you do with all the stories you know about your relatives—stories that your children might not even know? What do you do with that box of old, unlabeled photos? That’s where Modern Tomes® comes in.

We’ll breathe new life into your past—capture and re-capture your images and stories so that forthcoming generations will know what would have otherwise been forgotten.Whether it’s a family project—gathering information, stories from existing relatives—or focusing on one individual, even a family business, Modern Tomes strives to help you or your family member make an impact on current and future generations. Before it’s too late.

You tell us what you want to preserve—your story, your family’s story, or the story of your business, anything is possible—and we’ll go to work. Whether it’s sitting down one-on-one, or talking to family members at a reunion or wake, our interviews, supplemented with scanned-in photographs, memorabilia, documents and letters from your personal or family vault, will lead to professionally crafted prose, top-notch layouts and a beautiful, hand-bound tome that will defeat Time, lasting, and inspiring, your future generations.
