The TIME Capsule Method™
A Step-by-Step System for Telling Your Story,
Saving What Matters, and Sharing It Ethically
What Is the TIME Capsule Method™?
The TIME Capsule Method™ is my signature framework for telling your family’s story, identifying what matters most, and ensuring it remains accessible and ethically shared.
It blends traditional preservation practices with modern tools, including digital archiving, organization systems, and AI storytelling helpers to help you safeguard your legacy, so it endures for generations.
TIME stands for:
- T — Tell your story clearly and authentically
- I — Identify what matters most to preserve
- M — Make it accessible and future-proof
- E — Ethically share your legacy with care
This simple, memorable structure guides you from scattered notes and files to a complete, meaningful legacy your family can cherish.
Why Ethical Preservation Matters
Your family’s story deserves more than storage, it deserves structure, context, and care.
The TIME Capsule Method™ helps you:
- Capture stories with intention and accuracy
- Preserve only what is meaningful and essential
- Make your materials easy to find, use, and pass on
- Protect privacy, honor boundaries, and share responsibly
It’s not just what you save.
It’s how you preserve it with clarity, continuity, and conscience.
With this method, your research becomes more than data… it becomes a living legacy.

The Vision Behind the Method
The TIME Capsule Method™ grew out of my years helping family historians preserve their research — and seeing, time after time, how much work is lost because it’s never fully organized or shared. When I was writing Here Today, Gone Tomorrow, I realized that most genealogists, myself included, spend so much time collecting names and documents that we often forget the last, most important step: turning it all into something complete, clear, and lasting.
I wanted to create a framework that makes that process easier, a simple, guiding system that anyone can follow to bring order, meaning, and continuity to their family history. The TIME Capsule Method™ was born from that desire: to help people move from scattered notes and files to a finished legacy that can be passed on confidently.
At its heart, the method blends practical organization with ethical preservation. It bridges traditional research and storytelling with modern tools like AI and digital archiving, so that every family’s story can be both protected and accessible. My vision is to make preservation less overwhelming and more achievable, empowering people to not only document their past, but to build something their descendants will truly treasure.
