family album

Generational picture keeper

A family album is a book or collection of photographs documenting family members and events—weddings, holidays, childhood milestones.

Before digital photography, these were physical albums with prints mounted on pages, often annotated with names and dates.

The term now extends to digital photo collections: I spent the afternoon scanning the old family album.
