Important family documents deserve more than a folder.
Document Archive™ will give families one private, organized place for the records that verify a life and preserve its context—from birth certificates and marriage licenses to deeds, diplomas, letters, and other meaningful documents.

“A certificate records the fact. Its connections preserve the family story around it.”
Find the document—and understand why it matters.
Family documents are often scattered across drawers, computers, email attachments, and cloud drives. Even when the file survives, its relationship to the people and events behind it can disappear.
Document Archive is being designed as a secure, centralized archive where families can preserve important records, organize them with useful details, and connect them to the stories, people, places, and milestones they help document.
Preserve the records that define a family’s history.
From official records to personal papers, the archive is designed for the documents families may need, value, or want future generations to understand.
Vital Records
Birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, adoption records, and other defining family documents.
Homes & Property
Home deeds, titles, closing papers, vehicle records, maps, and materials connected with meaningful places.
Legal & Financial
Wills, agreements, insurance records, financial papers, and other documents a family chooses to preserve.
Education & Career
Diplomas, certificates, awards, licenses, employment records, and evidence of a life’s work.
Service & Travel
Military records, passports, immigration papers, travel documents, and records of service or movement.
Family Papers
Letters, recipes, newspaper clippings, handwritten notes, and other papers with lasting family meaning.
Upload one record—or begin organizing decades of them.
Add a single document when it matters, or use bulk upload to make progress on an existing family collection.
Document Archive is planned to accept common documents, presentations, spreadsheets, webpages, text files, and image formats.
PDF, DOC/DOCX, RTF, TXT, PPT/PPTX, XLS/CSV, HTML/HTM, JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and HEIF.
Less data entry. More useful context.
When a document is uploaded or imported, AI will attempt to identify and prepopulate the information that makes it easier to organize and find.
Review and change the proposed title, tags, date, and description before saving.
Create custom tags when the archive needs a category only your family would use.
The description can preserve what the document is, whom it concerns, and why it belongs.
Search the way families actually remember.
You may remember a person, an event, a document type, or just part of the filename. The archive is being designed to work with all four.
Search
Look by filename, person, event, document type, or tag.
Filter
Select a label to focus only on matching records.
Sort
Arrange documents by recent activity, date, or title.
Change Views
Move between a detailed list and a visual grid.
Connect each document with the family history it supports.
A birth certificate can connect to the story of the birth, the place where it happened, and the date on a life timeline.
Document Archive is intended to work as part of the Family Heritage Hub—not as another disconnected storage folder. Associated links may be suggested by the platform or added by the family.
Times of My Life®
Connect the record to the fuller family story behind it.
Life Map™
Open the home, hospital, school, courthouse, or other meaningful place.
Life Timeline™

From scattered file to connected family record.
Upload or import
Add one document, select several at once, use a link, or choose a connected cloud source.
Review the analysis
Check the AI-suggested title, tags, original date, and description; then make any changes.
Save and organize
Add the document to the archive, then search, filter, sort, or change how the collection is displayed.
Connect its context
Associate the document with the relevant people, stories, places, and timeline events across Leaves.
Open the document and decide what happens next.
The planned document preview gives authorized users straightforward ways to work with each archived file.
What families should know.
Document Archive is being designed for important official records and meaningful personal papers, including certificates, licenses, deeds, titles, wills, diplomas, military records, letters, recipes, clippings, and other documents a family wants to keep organized.
Planned formats include PDF, DOC/DOCX, RTF, TXT, PPT/PPTX, XLS/CSV, HTML/HTM, JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and HEIF. Final format and file-size limits may change before release.
Yes. The planned bulk-upload workflow allows a family member to select multiple files from a device and add them together.
No. AI will attempt to prepopulate a title, tags, original date, and description. The user can review and change those fields before saving the document to the archive.
A document can be associated with related stories in Times of My Life, locations in Life Map, and events in Life Timeline. Some links may be suggested by the platform, while family members can add others.
Document Archive is planned for a future release after the Family Heritage Hub launches. Leaves will announce availability when the app reaches a dependable stage of development.
Give your family’s important documents a lasting, connected place in its story.
Become a Founding Family and begin preserving the people, places, media, and memories that Document Archive will help connect.
