ANNIVERSARIES & MILESTONES
Celebrate your history and use it to engage your community
Your anniversary is a chance to celebrate the past and use it to build and develop lasting connections with your community. SocialArchive helps you transform your history into immersive, interactive experiences that brings memories to life and uses the power of nostalgia to create lasting engagement.
How We Help You Celebrate
Bring everything together – Digitally store and curate historical photos, yearbooks, past newsletters, event footage and alumni stories, in one interactive platform.
Give your community access – Let them browse, search and contribute their own memories, making the archive a living, growing resource.
Create an anniversary book with ease – Use SocialArchive’s structured organisation tools to effortlessly gather, categorise and compile content, that makes it easy to create an anniversary book filled with key moments, archival images and alumni reflections.
Future-proof your history – Ensure your milestone moments are not only celebrated today but also preserved for future generations..
Build a Digital Anniversary Archive
Firsthand Memories – Use Spoken Stories to collect and archive oral and video testimonials from alumni, former staff and current students, capturing stories of what campus life was like in different eras.
Encourage engagement – Alumni can record their stories remotely (via their personal devices), on-site or at anniversary events making it easy to gather a diverse range of voices.
Create a Time Capsule for the Future – Record what your school or university is like today (via stories from students, staff and alumni), so that when you celebrate another anniversary, future generations can see and hear the voices of the past.
Create Compelling Content – Use these collected memories to craft impactful videos, speeches, marketing campaigns and social media content, bringing history to life in a way that resonates with both past, present, and even future communities.
Capture & Share Alumni and Community Stories
Let Your Community Rediscover Their Past For Your Anniversary
Your anniversary is a chance to reconnect alumni with the places that shaped their memories, whether they can visit in person or not.
Let alumni walk through history – Create 360° Virtual Spaces of iconic locations, such as boarding houses and halls, chapels, or libraries, and embed archival content to bring these spaces to life.
Before & After Comparisons – Showcase how your campus has evolved over the decades, allowing alumni to experience both the past and present.
Connect with global alumni – With alumni spread across the world, Virtual Spaces provide an immersive way for those who can’t return in person to explore spaces as they stand today.
Capture today for future anniversaries – Record and store a virtual snapshot of your sites as they are now, so future generations can look back and experience how it has changed when your next milestone celebration arrives.
