A Digital Archive For The Family Business Community
Preserving images that reflect the true essence of family businesses, their history, heritage and the people that make them special for future generations and as a historical reference point.
What We Do
Creating collections that will be sustainable for future generations
Every family business has a story to tell, a pride in what they do and where the business has come from, and it is incredibly special when we get to see pictures, reports, adverts, postcards, products and images from their archives. Listening to the stories of previous generations, what they went through and seeing the evolution through their materials is a real privilege and these items deserve to be preserved and is the reason that the archive has been created.
Some of our collections are private but we do have a growing collection of images within the archive that are freely available to look through, helping capture moments in time that reflect the very essence of the family business community, their special moments as well as the nature of what they do, and have done, on a daily basis, for generations.
The Heritage Collection
Take a look at family businesses from a historical perspective as we journey back in time and look to the past and the importance of family firms in days gone by.
The Centenarian Collection
Check out all the latest from our collection compiled from family firms that have existed for over 100 years.
The People Collection
People are at the heart of family firms and this collection celebrates those individuals, family and non-family alike, that have made a significant impact on a family business.
Made in Britain Collection
Manufacturing has been at the heart of the nation for generations and this collection celebrates the importance of a sector that has defined communities, and the family businesses within them, for generations.
