Preserving What Matters Most — Family Stories & Local History

Legacy Bound helps families preserve personal histories, family memories, and local community stories through heirloom-quality memory books. We turn voice recordings, transcripts, scanned photos, and local history into beautifully designed, archival family story books that can be shared, held, and treasured for generations.

Often the stories already exist, but finishing a family memory book can feel overwhelming. Legacy Bound gently guides you to complete your legacy, connecting your family story to the history of your hometown, neighborhood, or community, adding context that makes your memories even richer.

This project is currently in beta. We’re learning and improving as we go, and we would love to hear your thoughts. Please share your suggestions, comments, or questions at hello@legacybound.co.uk

When Stories Are Already There, But Not Yet a Book

Turning all of that into a finished book can feel overwhelming.

Legacy Bound exists to gently help you finish what you’ve already started. Your story is connected to the place you lived. Streets, schools, shops, parks, and neighbors are part of the memory.

Including these details captures a shared history that makes your book richer, meaningful, and interesting to others in your community — not just your family.

Legacy Bound Is Not About Volume

We work slowly and thoughtfully, at your pace, with no pressure. Our pilot book offer provides free design and layout, letting you see your family story come alive before committing to printing. You only cover printing if you want copies.

Legacy Bound takes on a select number of projects, ensuring every story and its connection to the people and places it touches—is honored with care and dignity."
