Every family has things that didn’t get thrown away. A button tin. A pair of gloves still folded. A cup used so often it outlasted everything else. Nobody planned to keep them. They just stayed.
Documents tell us the shape of a life — dates, addresses, names in the margins of other people’s records. Objects tell us something harder to name. How someone lived inside a day. What they kept close.
This is a space for those things. For the stories that start not with a birth certificate or a census entry, but with something you can hold.
