LONDON, 10 June 2007

Nations' Memorybank is dedicated to capturing moments in everyday history for everyday people, their families and their communities. The site is a public archive of memories, enabling users to record moments in their lives for the future.

To keep the collection of precious and valuable memories, memorabilia and research items safe, Nations' Memorybank turned to Hanzo Archives. Hanzo's unique archiving software is embedded into Nations' Memorybank. The archiving software captures every memory and media item that is uploaded and archives it into Hanzo's public web collection in an application-neutral format. This archive is regularly donated to other public web archives for shared preservation.

This means that everything that is entered into Nations' Memorybank is safe and secure, and can be retrieved at any time, even beyond the lifetime of Nations Memorybank, Hanzo, or any other single institution.

Nick Barratt, Co-Founder & Director of Firebird Media, the company behind Nations' Memorybank, said: "Firebird Media are delighted to have contracted Hanzo Archives to provide secure digital archiving services for Nations' Memorybank, the online people's archive for memories and personal heritage material. Hanzo have also built the software to accompany the digital archive facility, including memory mapping, interactive community forums, sophisticated search engine and secure members' zone."

He added "Nations' Memorybank is the only website where all your personal memories, memorabilia and research can be archived safely for posterity. By pooling our resources, we can create a 'people's archive' where the forgotten stories from the past can be kept alongside our experiences of the present, creating a living resource for future generations."

This is a unique proposition for user-generated content. Hanzo are proud to be making this contribution. For more information on these capabilities, please review Hanzo's product overview and archive services in particular.
