Documenting what history overlooked.

About Permanent Record

Permanent Record is an independent institution devoted to preserving the personal events that conventional historians have irresponsibly ignored.

Our Mission

We transform screenshots, inside jokes, embarrassing declarations, relationship disasters, and friend-group mythology into premium personalized artifacts. The subject may be ridiculous; the design and craft are not.

The Archival Standard

Every keepsake begins with your evidence: names, dates, photographs, messages, quotes, and context. We give that material the visual authority of a museum exhibit, official proclamation, or historical document—then prepare it for gifting, displaying, and explaining to confused relatives.
