Question/answer » How can I easily get all the material from the family archive?
When the family is active within the private digital family archive, the amount of images, stories and responses can grow rapidly. It is the task of the family archivist to properly organize the material and to include it in the family history. As a family archivist you can export the entire digital family archive via the management menu!
If you request an export it can take a few minutes before it is ready. The result is a compressed file (ZIP) with all the contents of the family archive. Not only do you have a backup, you can now easily link the images within your family tree program without having to download them one by one.
