What is Keepsake?
Keepsake is an app that helps you upload your family history materials (photos, records, voice notes), and our story engine will turn these into chapters of a life story that you can order as a printed book.
Over six weeks, bring your memories, photographs and letters together, and shape them into a finished book to keep, share and give.
Whose story?
Your own, or a family member. Tell the story from your memories and records. It can also be the start of a wider family history in Keepsake.

Who we are
Sam Savelli
Sam Savelli is a writer, digital innovator and co-founder of Keepsake Family History. He studied History at the University of Warwick before going on to study Creative Writing at UEA. A lifelong fascination with his own family history led him to found Keepsake with his wife, Sarah. His background in IT project management within the defence industry has helped shape Keepsake as a secure digital home where families can capture and share their life stories.
Sarah Savelli
Sarah Savelli is a communications professional and lifelong family historian who co-founded Keepsake after her father died in 2020. Sorting through his photos, records and trinkets showed her how easily family stories can disappear, inspiring her to help others turn scattered memories into lasting life stories by combining technology with age-old storytelling techniques. She studied the Creative Writing MA at the University of East Anglia, and is being supported by Innovate UK to develop Keepsake.
