New market taps into America’s entrepreneurial spirit, allows anyone to build a business while helping families preserve their past

Today Legacy Republic is launching to create the first mission-driven marketplace that connects communities through the preservation of their memories. In an effort to save over two billion home videos and photo albums from degradation, destruction and loss, Legacy Republic will provide all the tools and training for candidates looking to supplement their income with flexible work hours. With $6 million in funding and additional operational support from YesVideo , Inc., Legacy Republic is dedicated to building a business community around the value of preserving family histories.

According to Legacy Republic , about 90 million families across the country have collectively stored an estimated two billion non-digital video units and photo albums in their homes. These family memories, often poorly stored in attics and garages, are at risk of loss to fire or natural disasters and degrading in quality every day. By empowering a team of ‘Legacy Maker’ consultants across the country, the first and only career opportunity that allows people to earn a living by preserving America’s family legacies, Legacy Republic aims to educate Americans about the importance of media digitization while enabling them to make a profit in the process.
