ERA Our Years. Your family. Your memories. Your control. Simple Raspberry Pi technology and expandable storage for organizing generations of family photographs.

A family archive designed around people

Many families scan hundreds or thousands of old photographs, only to receive a large batch of files on a thumb drive. ERA makes those photographs useful by connecting them to family members, relationships, and meaningful albums.

Plug and play. Your storage. Your control.

ERA runs on a fully configured Raspberry Pi system we provide—or your own compatible Raspberry Pi. Connect a configured system to your network and begin organizing your memories.

Start small. Expand as you go. Add external storage as the collection grows. Very large collections are possible, with practical limits determined by drive space, file sizes, and hardware performance.

With ERA, no cloud-storage subscription is required. Hardware, maintenance and independent backup media remain your responsibility.
