Life Archive Core
Life Archive
A complete WordPress system for recording memories, diary entries and notes in the order that life happened. Use Core alone or extend it with specialist Memoir and Family modules.
A chronological archive that works by itself
Life Archive separates the date an event happened from the date the entry was written or published. A memory written today can therefore sit correctly within an earlier year or decade.
Core is the neutral platform for the Life Archive product family, but it is also a usable standalone archive rather than an empty dependency.
