As all legal Covid restrictions have been lifted in England, the nation has navigated a surreal piece of history that will be discussed and documented for centuries to come. Our personal history was once well-documented in photo albums, scrapbooks and diaries, yet with data by PastBook now revealing that 52% of the nation own no physical copies of their favourite photos, Brits may now risk losing generations of family history, stories and nostalgic treasures.

As social media and digital experiences take an ever-increasing presence in our lives, when future generations ask what this period was like – what will we show? Encouraging the nation to share and preserve the moments that will define a time like no other – from pandemic pictures to our summer holiday highlights – PastBook launch their campaign ‘Closing the Book on Lockdown’.
