Why Baby Boomers Are Leading the Charge to Preserve Digital Heirlooms
Every generation has a role in preserving family history. Today, it’s Baby Boomers who are stepping up as the custodians of our collective memory.
For Boomers, the attic isn’t just storage. It’s a time capsule. VHS tapes, photo albums, 8mm reels — each box holds a story. But for years, those stories were stuck in analog purgatory. Digitization freed them, but without a way to experience them, the files sat idle.
Projector is changing that.
From archive to stage.
Boomers understand that memories aren’t meant to be hidden. With Projector, those digitized tapes finally find their way onto the living room’s biggest stage: the TV. A lifetime of milestones becomes a channel you can flip to any night of the week.
A gift across generations.
Boomers aren’t just doing this for themselves. They’re passing the torch. When grandparents stream their old videos, they’re giving children and grandchildren a chance to see — and feel — where they come from. It’s more powerful than any story told around the dinner table.
Technology that feels human.
Projector isn’t about gadgets. It’s about connection. The technology fades into the background, leaving only the joy of watching life unfold together.
Why it matters now.
With the holidays approaching, Boomers are ensuring their family stories don’t stay hidden in boxes or cloud folders. They’re making them visible, audible, and unforgettable.
