The file tells you what. The person explains why.
People, family, stories, key moments, voice, values and the explanations that files cannot provide by themselves.
Identity is not a social-media profile.
There is nobody here to impress.
It is the human layer of the Capsule.
A place to give your archive the information that files cannot know on their own.
Who are these people?
Why was this important?
What happened before the photograph?
What did you believe at the time?
What changed?
What would you want someone close to you to understand?
Identity can hold the parts of a life that deserve their own structure:
Memoirs
Stories in your own words.
Family
People, relationships, photographs and family history.
Key Moments
The events that changed something.
Voice
Recordings that preserve more than written words can.
Video
Messages, explanations and moments worth keeping.
Interview
Questions that help recover stories you might never think to write down yourself.
Values & Beliefs
Not a questionnaire. A record of what mattered to you.
Skills & Dreams
Things you learned — and things you still hope to do.
And other personal material you decide belongs there.
You choose how much.
A Capsule is not a demand to document your entire existence.
An old photograph appears while you are looking for something else.
You remember what happened that day.
Identity keeps the story before it disappears again.We hope Identity will help more stories be told by the people who lived them, in their own words and their own voice — while they are here to tell them.
And, if they choose, kept for the people who may come to them later.
