Remember · Galleries & archive
Albums for every reunion and every decade, tagged by era. Members upload old photos from their own albums, and a moderator publishes each one into the right place.

What an archive is for
AlumDeck gives those photos one home, captioned and dated, instead of forty group chats.

How it works
Albums
An album is either photos or YouTube videos. Give it a title, a cover, an era such as "1969 to 1999", an order and its own search title and description. Each item has a caption; visitors click any photo to see it full screen. Switch on people tagging and members tag themselves, and friends who allow it, in album photos.
Member uploads
From the member area, a member chooses up to 10 photos, adds a caption and an era, and sends them. They wait for a moderator; nothing appears on the public site until someone has looked.

Moderation
Waiting photos appear in the admin dashboard's attention queue. The moderator publishes each one into an album or rejects it. Give this job to whoever knows the old faces.

People tagging
Switch on people tagging and a signed-in member presses "This is me" on a photo in any published album, or tags a classmate who is in the directory. Each member chooses how that works for them: tags made by others wait for their approval, which is how it starts, or show straight away, or nobody else may tag them at all. The tagged member, and whoever made the tag, can take it off at any time. "Photos of me" in the member area gathers every photo a member is tagged in.

Remember · albums in the live demo
Riverside College, the fictional college in the demo, has six photo albums. Each carries an era its committee typed in, so a thirty-year run of class photos sits happily next to last month.
Twelve photos in one album, tagged "1966 to 2026".
Eleven class photos in one album, tagged "1969 to 1999".
Twelve photos from the evening, tagged "2026".
Eleven photos of the site as it is now, tagged "Today".

A tag means a fix is planned. No tag means it is not.
FAQ
Any signed-in member can upload old photos from the member area. People who are not members can send scans through the contact form's archive option, and the committee adds them.
No. Every member upload waits in a queue until a moderator publishes it into an album or rejects it.
Up to 8 MB each, 10 per upload, in jpg, png or webp. Each photo is kept at the size it was sent, and AlumDeck makes smaller copies, 480 and 960 pixels wide, so a page of phone photos stays light. A photo a member sends in is saved again without the details a camera hides inside it, such as a phone's location.
Photos staff add to an album in the admin are kept exactly as uploaded, hidden details included, so check those before you upload them.
Yes, as YouTube video albums. The videos play in YouTube's privacy-enhanced player, and the security headers AlumDeck sends allow that player and its thumbnails for as long as galleries are switched on.
Uploading video files directly is not supported.
Yes. Every album has an era you type yourself, such as "1970s", "1969 to 1999" or "Today", and members add an era to each photo they send.
Six albums, from the campus through the decades to the Diamond Jubilee launch. Sign in as a member to send a photo in.
