family albums
Pictorial ancestry records
Family albums are collections of photographs documenting a family's history—births, weddings, holidays, vacations, and everyday moments preserved together.
Traditionally these were physical books with photos mounted on pages, often annotated with dates and names.
Digital family albums now serve the same purpose: She spent hours scanning the old family albums.
The term suggests sentiment and nostalgia, snapshots meant for private remembrance rather than public display.
