A FRAM GROUP project
Memoryteka creates photobooks about family and life — delivered to your door. Photographs from phones, old albums and archives become a book that will be opened across generations.
The collection idea
Imagine a shelf with books standing on it: the eldest child's childhood, the year the family moved, the first big journey, a wedding, an anniversary, the holiday everyone remembers. Each book is a separate chapter. Together — an archive that needs no assembling: it is already assembled.
Such a shelf need not be built all at once. One book a year — and in ten years your family has a library that grandchildren will open with the same reverence with which we today turn the yellowed photographs of great-grandparents.
Where to begin a collection
Why a book specifically
Files are lost when devices change. Clouds alter their terms. Social networks disappear. In the hundred years of photography as a medium, only those photographs that were printed survived. This is not romanticism — it is a fact.
A book exists without electricity, without a password and without a subscription. It stands on the shelf, it can be picked up at any moment — and that is precisely why it is picked up.
The edition
Memoryteka prints on professional equipment: thick paper, accurate colour reproduction, binding that does not split after a year. A book that feels good in the hand — and that sits comfortably on a shelf alongside volumes from a good bookshop.
Two binding options: hardcover photo cover — for those who want a classic; fabric binding — for those who want an archival edition with a tactile character. Both formats delivered to your door across Russia.
Made with a designer
You send us photographs and a few words about what matters. We do the rest: sort the archive, select the best, ask the right questions, build the timeline and design the book. You see the finished layout, approve it — and the book goes to print.
Especially valuable for books about elderly relatives, about childhood, about a major event — where it matters not to miss details and to tell the story with feeling, rather than simply arranging photographs in a grid.
Gift certificate
A certificate for any amount — send by email or print. Valid for 3 years, reusable until the balance runs out. The best gift for those who already have everything.
