Atlas is the place where your digitised videos, photographs, slides and audio finally come together — backed up safely, and rich with the dates, people, events and places behind them. A gallery of the past you can search, share and grow.

HOW ATLAS WORKS
No tagging spreadsheets. No batch jobs. Atlas reads what's there, takes a sensible guess at the rest, and lets you correct the bits only you can know.
Quietly, in the background, Atlas picks up the people, the places, the dates — and the small details that turn a clip into a story.
Photographs land beside the videos they were taken with. People you haven't named yet are gently grouped, waiting for a name. Your library starts to read itself.
Atlas takes the correction and quietly threads it through every other place that person appears. The archive gets richer every time you visit.
FOR EVERY VIDEO
For every video Atlas watches, it writes a short description of what it sees — who's there, where it is, when it was filmed. Names link out to that person's photographs and films across the rest of your archive. Places open onto a map. Dates anchor the moment in time.
If Atlas isn't sure, it says so. Correct it once and the new fact lives across the archive — quietly, in the background.
A QUICK WALK THROUGH
The Atlas you sign into. Each surface is built to show what's there at the right amount of fidelity — never a wall of metadata, never a wall of nothing.
LIBRARY
Sort by date, by place, by the things that matter to you. Folders from your tapes preserved just as you left them — so the Florida 1999 reel is still the Florida 1999 reel.
PEOPLE
Atlas groups the same face across decades and tapes. You name them once; the archive remembers. Three generations of family land in one place — and stay there.
PLACES
Cities, regions, streets, landmarks. Pin Norfolk and watch a hundred clips appear; pin Cape Town and find the trips you almost forgot about.
TIMELINES
Family stories. Your aunt's life. The band your uncle was in in the ’90s. Atlas drafts the timeline — you keep what it got right and edit what it didn't.
A LIFE THROUGH ATLAS
One face named once. Atlas finds them across every tape and every photograph, places each appearance on a timeline, and writes a short description of what was happening. This is what an archive looks like when it knows itself.
EARLY READERS
“I'd put off labelling these tapes for nineteen years. Atlas had them read in an afternoon.”
Helen Marchetti
Beta reader, six VHS reels
“My father in 1984. I named him in one clip and he appeared in forty-two more. I cried, twice.”
Daniel Park
Beta reader
“I gave my mum a login last weekend. She made a timeline of her mother's life before bed.”
Sophie Akande
Beta reader, photo album cohort

YOUR ARCHIVE
Whether your tapes have already been digitised or they’re still in a shoebox in the loft, Atlas is where they’re meant to live. Backed up. Read. Remembered.
